This module covers the following orders: •EURYPYGIFORMES — Sunbitterns •GRUIFORMES — Cranes, Rails, & Allies the ones below you do not need to know for exams • MESITORNITHIFORMES — Mesites • OTIDIFORMES — Bustards

Sunbittern Sunbittern, Costa Rica

ORDER EURYPYGIFORMES — Sunbittern & Kagu— 2 families; 2 spp Range: Central and South American; New Caledonia Morphology/ecology: sunbitterns live along tropical streams where they catch frogs, insects, etc Behavior: Sunbitterns have startle display where they flash bright colors on wings (fake eyes?) Taxonomic notes: this is a new order that was previously with Gruiformes Important families: Eurypygidae: sunbittern

CRANES RAILS AND ALLIES Austral Rail Argentina

*ORDER GRUIFORMES — Cranes & Rails — 6 families; 163 species Range: worldwide Morphology/ecology: terrestrial and aquatic birds (wading, a few swimmers) Behavior: most are shy and retiring, mainly monogamous, but some are polyandrous, where females compete for males and have multiple males. Other notes: flightlessness has arisen many independent times in rails Taxonomic notes: this order was recently split into several orders (bustards, seriemas, mesites, sunbitterns all in own orders) Important families: *Rallidae: coots, rails *Gruidae: cranes

Family Rallidae: rails, coots, moorhens - Largely aquatic birds that are solitary and shy (except coots) Well adapted for hiding in vegetation (‘thin as a rail’) Long toes well adapted for walking on floating vegetation. Pukeko New Zealand
