  Black-crowned Night Heron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Black-crowned Night Heron (in Europe, often just Night Heron), Nycticorax nycticorax, is a medium-sized heron.
The New World race is more gregarious outside the breeding season than the nominate race.
The scientific name, Nycticorax, means "night raven", and refers to this species' nocturnal habits and harsh crow-like call.

 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Nycticorax mauritianus
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Nycticorax mauritianus
Mauritius Night-Heron Nycticorax mauritianus was described from seven fossil bones (of which only a coracoid and a tarsometatarsus are available today), from Mauritius.
Leguat's description of "great flights of bitterns" in 1693 probably refers to this species, given that the only two other species of Ardeidae known from the island are Dimorphic Egret Egretta dimorpha and Green Heron Butorides striatus, which could in no way be described as "bitterns".

 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Nycticorax megacephalus
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Nycticorax megacephalus
Rodrigues Night-Heron Nycticorax megacephalus is known from a number of bones, and from Leguat's 1708 and Tafforet's 1726 accounts, from Rodrigues, Mauritius.
Leguat mentioned that they were easily caught (although they were not quite flightless), and this hunting presumably caused their extinction.
