Wake Island Rail
Hypotaenidia wakensis Rothschild, LW 1903
The extinct Wake Island rail was a flightless rail and the only native land bird on the Pacific atoll of Wake. It was found on the islands of Wake and Wilkes, but not on Peale, which is separated from the others by a channel of about 100 meters. It was hunted to extinction during the Second World War.
