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.

New Zealand Grebe

New Zealand Grebe (Poliocephalus rufopectus) is a small 27–29 cm grebe endemic to New Zealand's North Island. Dark cap; chestnut neck; whitish cheeks. Inhabits shallow, vegetated freshwater lakes and ponds. Endangered; population only ~1,900 birds and declining.
