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.
