<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="ardea-modesta"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Ardea modesta has subfossil records from Tonga, providing palaeontological context for the historical avifauna of the Pacific islands. A medium-sized piscivore that waded shallow waters catching fish and invertebrates, its Tongan subfossil remains document the presence of this heron lineage in the Pacific before human-caused habitat changes. These records inform regional biodiversity conservation.
