Hawaiian Coot

Hawaiian Coot (Fulica alai) is a 33–40 cm endemic coot of Hawaii's freshwater wetlands. All-black with white frontal shield and bill; shield may show reddish spot. Inhabits marshes, ponds, and coastal lagoons on all main islands. Feeds on aquatic plants, algae, and invertebrates.

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.
