About These Birds
Yellow Rail
Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) is a tiny 15–18 cm, secretive North American rail. Yellowish-brown with dark streaking; white wing patches visible in flight. Breeds in wet sedge meadows and fens across Canada and northern USA; winters in coastal marshes of the Gulf Coast. Detected by its distinctive ticking call.
Kosrae Crake
Kosrae Crake (Zapornia monasa) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Kosrae in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia. Known from bones and a single 19th-century description. Dark plumage, reduced wings. Extirpated following Polynesian and later European settlement; likely lost to introduced rats and cats.
