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.
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.
