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.

Black-banded Crake

Black-banded Crake (Porzana fasciata) is a small 16–18 cm crake of lowland Amazonia and the Guianas. Dark brown above; heavily barred black and white below; reddish bill and legs. Inhabits dense marsh vegetation, flooded forest edges, and wet grassland in northern South America. Secretive; detected by sharp calls. Feeds on invertebrates and seeds.
