About These Birds
Isabelline Bush-hen
Isabelline Bush-hen (Amaurornis isabellina) is a 26–30 cm rail endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. Uniformly isabelline (pale brownish-buff) plumage; greenish bill; reddish legs. Inhabits lowland forest-edge marshes and reed beds on Sulawesi and nearby satellite islands. Uncommon and secretive. Feeds on invertebrates and seeds.
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.
