About These Birds

African Swamphen

African Swamphen (Porphyrio madagascariensis) is a 38–50 cm large gallinule of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Deep blue-purple with greenish back, massive red bill and frontal shield, and red legs. Inhabits papyrus swamps, lake shores, and dense reed beds. Similar to Purple Swamphen but restricted to Africa.

Kosrae Crake

Kosrae Crake (Zapornia monasa) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Kosrae in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia. Known from bones and a single 19th-century description. Dark plumage, reduced wings. Extirpated following Polynesian and later European settlement; likely lost to introduced rats and cats.
