Wildlife Center Stage: Great Egret

[bowhuntingohio]

One hundred years ago, the great egret was nearly hunted to extinction, removed from the landscape because the fashion industry demanded the birds’ elegant white plumes for ladies’ hats. Public outcry over the impending doom of this species and many others led to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. Under the act’s protection, the great egret has gradually returned to Ohio once more.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?a=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:y Il2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?i=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:V _sGLiPBpWU (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?a=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:V _sGLiPBpWU) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?a=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:q j6IDK7rITs) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?i=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:g IN9vFwOqvQ (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/OdnrDivisionOfWildlife?a=TJM4dPC6vfA:N9pQ0a8iaEs:g IN9vFwOqvQ)
