About These Birds

Atitlan Grebe

Atitlan Grebe (Podilymbus gigas) is an extinct large flightless grebe formerly endemic to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. Similar to Pied-billed Grebe but larger, with heavier bill and flightless wings. Extirpated by the 1980s due to introduced bass predating chicks, reed-bed destruction, and hunting. Last confirmed individuals died in the early 1990s.

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.
