About These Birds

Dot-winged Crake

Dot-winged Crake (Laterallus spilopterus) is a small 14–16 cm crake of the Galápagos Islands. Brown above with white spots on wing coverts; grey below with barred flanks. Endemic to Santa Cruz and several other Galápagos islands. Inhabits highland wet zones with dense vegetation and marsh edges. Secretive but locally common.

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.
