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.

Western Water Rail

水秧鸡(约120克)是一种极为隐蔽的苇丛鸟类,以其猪叫般的叫声著名。广布于欧洲至亚洲的芦苇地和沼泽。以其纤细体形得以穿越密集芦苇丛。以昆虫、小型脊椎动物和植物为食。无危;分布较广,但因湿地丧失在某些地区数量有所下降。
