About These Birds
Andean Coot
Andean Coot (Fulica ardesiaca) is a 38–43 cm coot of Andean high-altitude wetlands in Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile, typically above 3,000 m. Dark slaty-grey with white bill and frontal shield, often with yellow-orange shield in breeding season. Inhabits puna lakes and bofedales. Feeds on aquatic plants.
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.
