...Snowy's big brother, the Great Egret, has benefited from conservation, as have other herons in North America, including the Black-crowned Night Heron ("quawk" to baymen), and the Green Heron. The picture in the Old World is not so pretty. World-ranging field birders and semiprofessional ornithologists will gladly find space on a tall shelf for this somewhat technical work, richly illustrated by Painters Robert Gillmor and Peter Hayman...
