About These Birds

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.

Laysan Rail

Laysan Rail (Zapornia palmeri) is an extinct tiny 15 cm flightless rail formerly endemic to Laysan Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Pale brownish with short wings; lively and inquisitive behavior noted by early observers. Survived until 1944 when introduced rabbits devastated the island's vegetation, eliminating food and cover.
