Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, 2013 - by Eric Mencher (1955), American

Atitlán grebe hatchling By: David G. Allen 1960s

A large bloom of cyanobacteria, more commonly known as blue-green algae, spread across the lake in green filaments and strands that are clearly visible in this simulated-natural-colour image. According to local news reports, the nutrients feeding the bloom in Lake Atitlán come from sewage, agricultural run off, and increased run off as a result of deforestation around the lake basin.

Santa Cruz, Guatemala, Lake Atitlán

Day 11 of January extinct birds - the Atitlán grebe or giant pie-billed grebe (i swear i posted this yesterday but apparently not)

This flightless grebe was endemic to a single lake in Guatemala. Their story is remarkably similar to yesterday's grebe - when carnivorous bass were introduced to the lake, eating the grebe's food and their chicks, numbers started declining steeply. A refuge was set up, which was quite successful, but the 1976 earthquake caused the population to fall again, and they went extinct around 1990.
