About These Birds

Inaccessible Island Rail

Inaccessible Island Rail (Laterallus rogersi) is a tiny 17–19 cm flightless rail, the world's smallest flightless bird, endemic to Inaccessible Island in the Tristan da Cunha archipelago. Dark brown above, chestnut below. Inhabits dense tussock grass and fern-bush.

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.
