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.

Little Grebe

Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) is a small 23–29 cm, compact diving bird of Eurasia and Africa. Breeding plumage: chestnut neck and cheeks, dark brown body, pale yellow gape patch. Inhabits still and slow freshwater bodies across a huge range from Britain to Japan and south to South Africa. Dives frequently for small fish and invertebrates.
