White Egret Protection 



The nesting season of the White Egrets, 

 which closed about July i, was this year 

 a very successful one in the colonies 

 guarded by this Association. 



There was some destruction of young 

 birds and eggs by storms, but the fatalities 

 were not great. So far as we are aware, 

 only one attempt was made by plume- 

 hunters to raid of any our colonies. In 

 this case, the plunderers were promptly 

 driven away by the warden in charge. 



While a full report in regard to warden 

 work will be made later on, it may not 

 be amiss to call attention here to the 

 recently located colony in Lee County, 

 Florida, guarded by Warden B. Rhett 

 Green, of Ft. Myers. This, the remnant 

 of one of the splendid old-time rookeries, 

 contained a population the past season 

 of about 600 large Egrets, 1,000 Wood 

 Ibises, 25 Roseate Spoonbills, 100 Ward's 

 Herons, and about 20 pairs of the fast- 

 disappearing Limpkin.
