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.

Tricolored Grebe

Tricolored Grebe (Tachybaptus tricolor) is a small 22–25 cm grebe of the Moluccas and western Pacific islands. Named for its tri-toned appearance: dark brown above, chestnut sides, white underparts. Inhabits freshwater lakes, ponds, and slow rivers. Restricted to islands including Sulawesi, the Moluccas, the Solomons, and New Britain.
