About These Birds
Philippine Bush-hen
Philippine Bush-hen (Amaurornis olivacea) is a 26–29 cm rail endemic to the Philippines. Uniform olive-brown above; pale buff below; greenish bill; reddish legs. Inhabits dense freshwater marshes, reed beds, and forest-edge wetlands across the main Philippine islands. Locally common but secretive.
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.
