Davis' attention was concentrated upon Willy's wound. "What?" he said hopefully. "Are there still some of them round?" When the accident had been explained he turned to Roger. "The United States Government missed by two hours last night the biggest round-up of egret shooters ever made. Garman tried a gang of pugs first, and you cleaned them out.

The birds we observed were common to other parts of the continent, being a few screaming cockatoos, parrots, and quails, and near the water a small white egret. There was nothing of interest to recall our memories to this first visit to a new part of Australia, save a very large ant's nest, measuring twenty feet in height.
The wood-duck is greatly diminishing every year, and if not completely protected, ten years hence no wood-duck will be found in Louisiana. Ivory-billed woodpecker, sandhill crane, whooping crane, pinnated grouse, American and snowy egret where unprotected.
White heron reported a number of times last year; occurrences in Sandusky, Huron, Ashtabula and several other counties during 1911.

Upland plover, apparently killdeer, egret, wood-duck, woodcock, and probably others.
I do not say that no egret plumes could be picked up, but I do assert that the total quantity obtainable in one year in that way would be utterly trivial. No; the "ospreys" of the British feather market come from slaughtered egrets and herons, killed in the breeding season. Let the British public and the British Parliament make no mistake about that.
"If the Pelicans would dance for you " "Have the Pelicans a dance?" "Of all the dances that the Indians have," said the Egret, "the first and the best they learned from the Wing People.
