Bermuda Saw-whet Owl
Aegolius gradyi Olson, 2012
Strigidae — Owls
Bermuda Saw-whet Owl Aegolius gradyi was an owl from Bermuda in North America. It belonged to the family Strigidae and was described by Olson in 2012. The bird is known from fossil material and from accounts made by explorers in the seventeenth century. It was endemic to Bermuda and is now extinct. Its disappearance has been linked to changes in Bermuda cedar and Bermuda palmetto, as well as to non-native predators and competitors that arrived after human settlement.
