About These Birds

Auckland Island Rail

Auckland Island Rail (Lewinia muelleri), 17 cm. Small, flightless; brown with barred flanks and a short bill. Endemic to Adams Island, Auckland Islands, New Zealand. Inhabits dense tussock and scrub. Omnivore. Vulnerable; tiny range but predator-free island offers protection.

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.
