About These Birds

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.

Olive-brown above with white streaking; blue-grey breast; barred flanks; short green bill. Inhabits dense freshwater reed beds and sedge marshes. Highly migratory; winters in Africa, South Asia, and Australasia.
