great grebe
podiceps major latin

The Great Grebe has also sometimes been separated as the sole member of the genus Podicephorus.

The Great Grebe (Podiceps major) is the largest species of grebe on earth.

Due to its size and unique coloration, the Great Grebe is unlikely to be confused with any other bird, including other grebes.

Several species of birds find shelter in the park, including black-browed albatrosses, Great Grebes, black-necked swans and cormorants.

Birds featured include spring migrants buff-necked ibises and great grebes, while the resident Andean condors are big enough to see foxes off a carcass.
