now are plentiful In the Kvergiatles one of their main breeding grounds Homer Rhode jr enforcement officer for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish commission estimates there are of of egrets in the state They were almost wiped out during the era because fashionable women prized the dainty silky white plumes as' hat ornaments Then came strict laws prohibiting the killing of egrets and banning the sale or even possession of egret feathers by anyone but museums or educational institutions holding special state and federal permits Reason for the near-extinction of the egret Rhode explained is that the plumes springing from the back and head are roost luxuriant during the season when the young are in the nest birds were killed as they were coming back to the rookery with food for the young or as they were returning to help incubate the young The killing of the older birds meant the annihilation of the he said No longer menaced by bullets Florida's egrets face other hazards partly man-made Drainage of the Everglades with resultant drouths and fires was mentioned by Rhode as a major throat to the egrets number of egrets probably never will increase beyond the presowt supply unless water can be kept in the Everglades Last year when it was so dry we lost tens of thousands of birds" Egrets are pond birds Rhode continued They primarily feed on minnows fisli up to three inches long frogs lizards crawfish bugs and snakes Snakes are among the egret's natural enemies attacking the young Other predators such as the wild eat possum raccoon otter and hawk are enemies of
