About These Birds
Giant Coot
Giant Coot (Fulica gigantea) is a 60–65 cm massive coot of Andean high-altitude lakes in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. All-black plumage with red and yellow frontal shield. Largely flightless; relies on water for escape. Builds enormous floating nests. Feeds mainly on aquatic vegetation.
Kosrae Crake
Kosrae Crake (Zapornia monasa) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Kosrae in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia. Known from bones and a single 19th-century description. Dark plumage, reduced wings. Extirpated following Polynesian and later European settlement; likely lost to introduced rats and cats.
