About These Birds
Tristan Moorhen
Tristan Moorhen (Gallinula nesiotis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Dark sooty-brown with reduced wings and stout legs. Related to Common Moorhen but island-adapted. Extirpated by introduced rats and cats by the 19th century. Known from subfossil remains and early expedition accounts.
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.
