About These Birds

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.

Hawaiian Rail

Hawaiian Rail (Zapornia sandwichensis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to the Island of Hawai'i. Known from a single 19th-century specimen and subfossil bones. Dark brown plumage with greatly reduced wings. Extirpated by the late 1800s due to introduced predators and habitat loss.
