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.

Spot-flanked Gallinule

Spot-flanked Gallinule (Porphyriops melanops) is a small 22–25 cm rail of southern South America's marshes and reed-beds. Dark olive-brown above with white-spotted flanks, grey face, and short red-tipped yellow bill. Frequents still or slow-moving freshwater wetlands in Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil, and Chile.
