Least ConcernThe Dusky Megapode is a dark scrubfowl of the Maluku and Raja Ampat Islands. It inhabits forest, swamp forest, and mangroves, building large mounds of soil and vegetation. Fun fact: Some older taxonomies grouped many island scrubfowl under this species, but several are now treated separately.
