About These Birds

Dieffenbach's Rail

Dieffenbach's Rail (Hypotaenidia dieffenbachii). Extinct. Flightless; brown with barred underparts; endemic to the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. Hunted to extinction by Polynesian and European settlers by approximately 1840. Known from a few museum specimens collected in 1839–40.

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.
