About These Birds
Makira Moorhen
Makira Moorhen (Pareudiastes silvestris) is a poorly known, likely extinct rail formerly endemic to Makira (San Cristóbal) in the Solomon Islands. Described from a single 19th-century specimen; dark plumage, short wings indicating flightlessness. Presumed lost to forest clearance and introduced predators.
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.
