About These Birds
Colombian Grebe
Colombian Grebe (Podiceps andinus) is an extinct small to medium grebe formerly endemic to Lake Tota in the eastern Andes of Colombia at 3,000 m. Related to Black-necked Grebe; had chestnut neck and facial tufts. Declared extinct in 1977 following drainage of much of Lake Tota, hunting, and pesticide use.
Pied-billed Grebe
Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) is a stocky 30–38 cm grebe of the Americas. Brown overall; distinctive thick bill with black band in breeding season (giving the 'pied' name). Inhabits freshwater ponds, marshes, and slow rivers from Canada to Argentina. Dives readily; can sink below surface without diving.
