About These Birds
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.
Spotless Crake
Spotless Crake (Zapornia tabuensis) is a small 17–20 cm, dark crake of the Pacific and Australasia. Uniform dark slate-grey with brown back; red eye and reddish bill base; no spotting. Inhabits freshwater and brackish marshes, sedge swamps, and dense reed beds from New Guinea and Australia east through Polynesia. Secretive.
