About These Birds

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.

Hawaiian Rail

Hawaiian Rail (Zapornia sandwichensis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to the Island of Hawai'i. Known from a single 19th-century specimen and subfossil bones. Dark brown plumage with greatly reduced wings. Extirpated by the late 1800s due to introduced predators and habitat loss.
