About These Birds
Mascarene Coot
Mascarene Coot (Fulica newtonii) is an extinct giant coot formerly inhabiting Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Larger than Eurasian Coot; likely flightless or near-flightless. Extirpated by hunting and introduced predators in the 17th–18th centuries. Known from subfossil remains and written accounts by early European visitors.
Ocellated Crake
Ocellated Crake (Micropygia schomburgkii) is a tiny 14–15 cm crake of South American savannas, from Venezuela south to Brazil and Bolivia. Buffy-brown above with dark streaking and pale ocelli on wing coverts; pale buff underparts. Inhabits grasslands and dry savannas with scattered marshes.
