About These Birds
Mascarene Coot
Mascarene Coot (Fulica newtonii) is an extinct giant coot formerly inhabiting Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Larger than Eurasian Coot; likely flightless or near-flightless. Extirpated by hunting and introduced predators in the 17th–18th centuries. Known from subfossil remains and written accounts by early European visitors.
Sora
Sora (Porzana carolina) is a 19–24 cm crake breeding across North America in freshwater marshes. Plump, with yellow bill, black face-mask, grey breast, and barred flanks. Winters south to northern South America. A secretive but abundant marsh bird; its descending whinny is a familiar wetland sound. Feeds on seeds, invertebrates, and aquatic plants.
