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.
Sora
Sora (Porzana carolina) is a 19–24 cm crake breeding across North America in freshwater marshes. Plump, with yellow bill, black face-mask, grey breast, and barred flanks. Winters south to northern South America. A secretive but abundant marsh bird; its descending whinny is a familiar wetland sound. Feeds on seeds, invertebrates, and aquatic plants.
