About These Birds
Samoan Moorhen
Samoan Moorhen (Pareudiastes pacificus) is an extinct flightless rail that inhabited Savai'i, Samoa. Known from a single 1873 specimen; dark plumage with reduced wings. Likely extirpated by introduced rats, cats, and habitat loss during the late 19th century. Represents the general vulnerability of island rails to human-introduced threats.
White Swamphen
White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
