About These Birds

Ruddy Crake

Ruddy Crake (Laterallus ruber) is a small 14–16 cm, richly colored crake of Central America. Bright chestnut-rufous body; grey head; greenish bill. Inhabits wet grassy marshes, rice paddies, and flooded fields from Mexico to Costa Rica. Secretive but often calls at dusk; its purring trill is a distinctive wetland sound.

White Swamphen

White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
