About These Birds
Agami Heron
The Agami Heron is a near-threatened, strikingly patterned wading bird with a wingspan of about 55 cm and a weight of around 528 g. It inhabits shaded forest streams and swampy areas in Central and South America, where it stands motionless before striking with its exceptionally long, sharp bill.
Bermuda Night Heron
The Bermuda Night Heron was an extinct night heron endemic to Bermuda, known only from subfossil remains recovered from cave deposits. It likely fed on crabs and marine invertebrates in the island's intertidal zones, as its name suggests. It became extinct following the arrival of European settlers and the introduction of predatory mammals.
