About These Birds
Talaud Rail
Talaud Rail (Gymnocrex talaudensis) is a poorly-known rail endemic to the Talaud Islands in the northern Moluccas, Indonesia. Similar to Blue-faced Rail; brown above with some rufous tones; bare facial skin. Inhabits forest and scrub on small islands. Known from very few specimens.
Laysan Rail
Laysan Rail (Zapornia palmeri) is an extinct tiny 15 cm flightless rail formerly endemic to Laysan Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Pale brownish with short wings; lively and inquisitive behavior noted by early observers. Survived until 1944 when introduced rabbits devastated the island's vegetation, eliminating food and cover.
