About These Birds
Rufous-sided Crake
Rufous-sided Crake (Laterallus melanophaius) is a small 15–17 cm crake of South American grasslands and marshes, from Colombia south to Argentina. Olive-brown above; grey breast; bold chestnut-rufous flanks. Inhabits wet grasslands, rice paddies, and flooded savannas. Secretive; walks through dense grass. Common across much of its range.
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.
