About These Birds
New Guinea Flightless Rail
New Guinea Flightless Rail (Megacrex inepta) is a large 38–45 cm flightless rail endemic to lowland New Guinea. Dark brown; robust legs; greatly reduced wings. Inhabits dense forest floor, often near swampy areas and stream margins in lowland rainforest. Poorly known; rarely observed despite relatively large size.
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.
