Blue-faced Rail
The blue-faced rail (''Gymnocrex rosenbergii'') or bald-faced rail, is a species of bird in the family Rallidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and rivers. It has been evaluated as a threatened species since October 1, 2016, by the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and pollution. By 2000, the estimated population of the blue-faced rail was in the low 2000's to the high 9000's, however it has steadily declined since then. Description The blue-faced rail is a 30 cm, medium-sized, secretive, forest rail. It has a conspicuous patch of bare cobalt-blue skin around the eye that gives the bird its distinctive name. The blue-faced rail makes a snoring sound apparently similar to that of the snoring rail, and it also gives off a quiet clucking sound in alarm.
