  1. Colombian Grebe

    Taxobox name Colombian Grebe status EX status system IUCN3.1 extinct 1977 regnum Animal ia phylum Chordate Chordata classis Bird Aves ordo grebe Podicipediformes familia Podicipedidae genus Podiceps species P. andinus binomial Podiceps andinus binomial authority Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee Meyer de Schauensee , 1959 The Colombian Grebe Podiceps andinus , was a grebe aquatic bird found in the Bogot wetlands in the Eastern Andes of Colombia . The species was still abundant on Lake Tota 3000m in 1945. The species has occasionally been considered a subspecies of Black necked Grebe P. nigricollis . The decline of the Colombian grebe is attributed to wetland drainage, siltation , pesticide pollution , disruption by reed harvesting, hunting, competition, and predation of chicks by rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri del Hoyo et al. 1992 . The primary reason was loss of habitat drainage of wetlands and siltation resulted in higher concentrations of pollutant, caussing eutrophication across Lake Tota . This destroyed the open, submergent pondweed Potamogeton vegetation and resulted in the formation of a dense monoculture of water weed Elodea Varty et al. 1986, Fjeldsa 1993, as cited in O Donnel and Fjeldsa 1997 . By 1968 the species had declined to approximately 300 birds. Only two records of this bird was made in the 1970s one seen 1972, and the last confirmed record from 1977 when three birds were seen. Intensive studies in 1981 and 1982 failed to find the species and it is now considered extinct.
