About These Birds
Bare-eyed Rail
Bare-eyed Rail (Gymnocrex plumbeiventris) is a 27–31 cm rail of the Moluccas and New Guinea region. Grey below; brown above; distinctive bare red-orange facial skin around eye. Inhabits lowland rainforest, secondary forest, and forest edges near water. Secretive; walks through leaf litter foraging for invertebrates and small vertebrates.
Ascension Crake
Ascension Crake (Mundia elpenor) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. Known from early 17th-century descriptions by Portuguese sailors; no physical specimens survive. Dark plumage; reduced wings. Extirpated rapidly after human arrival and introduction of cats and rats, likely by the mid-1600s.
