About These Birds
Speckled Rail
Speckled Rail (Coturnicops notatus) is a small 15–17 cm, poorly-known rail of South America. Olive-brown above; white-spotted breast and flanks. Found in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Inhabits wet grasslands, marsh edges, and seasonally flooded savannas. Extremely secretive; known from few specimens.
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.
