About These Birds
Rodrigues Rail
Rodrigues Rail (Erythromachus leguati) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean. Known from a 1691 account and subfossil bones; reddish plumage, long legs, reduced wings. Related to Mauritius Red Rail. Extirpated by introduced cats and rats, and direct hunting by settlers, by the early 18th century.
African Swamphen
African Swamphen (Porphyrio madagascariensis) is a 38–50 cm large gallinule of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Deep blue-purple with greenish back, massive red bill and frontal shield, and red legs. Inhabits papyrus swamps, lake shores, and dense reed beds. Similar to Purple Swamphen but restricted to Africa.
