About These Birds
Hawkins's Rail
Hawkins's Rail (Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi). Extinct. Large flightless rail formerly endemic to Chatham Islands, New Zealand; estimated 50 cm. Known from sub-fossil bones. Driven to extinction by Polynesian settlers and introduced rats before European contact, likely by 1400 CE. Omnivore of forest floor.
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.
