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.

Brown Crake (Zapornia akool) is a small 20–23 cm, plain crake of South and South-East Asia. Uniform olive-brown above; warm buff below with pale throat; greenish bill and red legs. Inhabits dense freshwater marsh vegetation, reed beds, and rice field margins from Pakistan east to southern China and Indochina.
