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.

Red-legged Crake

Red-legged Crake (Rallina fasciata) is a 22–25 cm crake of South-East Asian lowland forests. Chestnut head; olive-brown back; white-barred underparts; bright red legs. Inhabits dense forest floor near streams, mangroves, and lowland swamp forest from Myanmar and Thailand east to the Philippines and Borneo. Partially migratory.
