About These Birds
Blue-faced Rail
Blue-faced Rail (Gymnocrex rosenbergii) is a 28–32 cm rail endemic to Sulawesi and nearby Indonesian islands. Striking bare blue facial skin; dark brown above; chestnut-rufous below. Inhabits lowland and hill forest near streams, marshy forest clearings, and forest interior. Rarely encountered; forages on the 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.
