The Bermuda night heron (Nyctanassa carcinocatactes) an extinct heron species from Bermuda. It is sometimes assigned to the genus Nycticorax. It was first described by Storrs L. Olson & David B. Wingate (2006)[2] from subfossil material found in the Pleistocene and Holocene deposits in caves and ponds of Bermuda. Its anatomy was rather similar to its living relative, the yellow-crowned night heron (Nyctanassa violacea), but it had a heavier bill, a more massive skull and more robust hind limbs. 📷@peter.brannon 📝 wikipedia #heron #herondale #nightheron #bermudanightheron #bermuda #héron #bird #birds_captures #birds #birdlover #birdsonearth #birdslovers #birdsoftheworld #lovenature💚 #lovebirds❤️ #fish #beutifull #dailynature #naturelove #naturephotography #naturephotographer #nature_of_our_world #naturedaily #naturephotos #photography📷 #foto #fotografie #fotoshooting #fotografianewborn #fotografía https://www.instagram.com/p/CPfd8vHMlup/?utm_medium=tumblr
