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.
Alaotra Grebe
Alaotra Grebe (Tachybaptus rufolavatus) is an extinct small grebe formerly endemic to Lake Alaotra, Madagascar. Pale buff-brown, weak-winged, likely flightless or near-flightless. Last confirmed record 1985; declared extinct in 2010.
