About These Birds
Makira Moorhen
Makira Moorhen (Pareudiastes silvestris) is a poorly known, likely extinct rail formerly endemic to Makira (San Cristóbal) in the Solomon Islands. Described from a single 19th-century specimen; dark plumage, short wings indicating flightlessness. Presumed lost to forest clearance and introduced predators.

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.
