Fund for White Egret Protection 



Gratifying indeed have been the re- 

 sponses to the recent appeal made by 

 the Directors of this Association for funds 

 with which to push a vigorous campaign 

 this year for the further protection of the 

 White Egrets, whose extermination in the 

 United States is so sorely threatened. 



As has been before pointed out, a fund 

 of $5,000 should be available at the earliest 

 possible moment, in order to locate and 

 guard the comparatively few places where 

 these birds still gather in summer to rear 

 their young, and also to carry forward a 

 campaign of publicity, so necessary to 

 successful legislative efforts which we 

 shall immediately push in Pennsylvania 

 and elsewhere, with a view of stopping 

 absolutely the nefarious traffic in the 

 plumage of these exquisite creatures. 



Since the last issue of Bird-Lore, the 

 following contributions have been added 

 to the Egret Protection Fund and we very 

 much hope that before the next two 

 months elapse the entire fund of $5,000 

 will have been subscribed. 



Two additional colonies of Egrets have 

 recently been located in the southern 

 swamps, and wardens have been employed 

 to guard them. At this writing, the 

 Association has four agents in the field, 

 searching for other nesting groups of these 

 rare birds.
