The only endemic heron?

[edit]
Hello, can someone clarify if there is another heron species endemic to New Zealand (counting any endemic subspecies)? I know the New Zealand population of Australasian Bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus) was considered a subspecies for some years because of their plumage characteristics differing with the populations from another locations (for example Australia) but this classification became invalid recently, so (as I said) I want to know if any New Zealand endemic heron species still being around. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.170.245.56 (talk) 03:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply] 

Incorrect date in taxonomy

[edit]

Date listed in taxonomy as 1812. This seems incorrect as the remains were not discovered until end of the 20th century. Freakboynz (talk) 07:26, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Check the history if something is obviously impossible. It was vandalism, or a very confused reformatting.115.188.121.224 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:20, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
