About These Birds
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.
Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.
