About These Birds
Pale-vented Bush-hen
Pale-vented Bush-hen (Amaurornis moluccana) is a 26–30 cm rail of the Moluccas and New Guinea region. Olive-brown above; pale buff underparts with white vent. Inhabits freshwater swamps, reed beds, and forest-edge marshes on islands including Buru, Seram, and New Guinea. Secretive; detected by calls. Poorly known.
White Swamphen
White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
