About These Birds
Common Gallinule
Common Gallinule (Gallinula galeata) is a 32–38 cm rail of the Americas, from Canada to Argentina. Dark grey-black with brown back, bold red frontal shield, yellow-tipped red bill, and white flank stripe. Inhabits freshwater marshes, ponds, and slow rivers. Swims and walks with bobbing head motion. Feeds on aquatic plants 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.
