About These Birds
Mascarene Coot
Mascarene Coot (Fulica newtonii) is an extinct giant coot formerly inhabiting Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Larger than Eurasian Coot; likely flightless or near-flightless. Extirpated by hunting and introduced predators in the 17th–18th centuries. Known from subfossil remains and written accounts by early European visitors.
Dusky Moorhen
Dusky Moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa) is a 35–40 cm moorhen of Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia's freshwater wetlands. Dark slaty-grey with brown back, red frontal shield, and yellow-tipped red bill. Common on lakes, rivers, and park ponds. Walks along shorelines and swims freely. Feeds on aquatic plants, invertebrates, and seeds.
