nightingale's
Belonging to nocturnal singer
Nightingale's is the possessive form of nightingale, a small brown European songbird celebrated for its rich, melodious song, often heard at night.
The word typically modifies something belonging to or associated with the bird: the nightingale's song, a nightingale's territory.
Florence Nightingale's name has made the word familiar beyond ornithology: Nightingale's reforms transformed nursing.
