Snowy Egret
Native to North, Central, and South America.
The species was slaughtered for its plumes in the 19th century, but protection brought a rapid recovery of numbers, and the Snowy Egret is thriving.

Came across this doe and two fawns when visiting San Padres Forest in California. Less than 6 ft away.

Scientific Question
Could the rat poison people are using cause rabid and mange issues? I hate seeing all these rat poison contrapments here. We are in the forest. Let the bigger predators do their jobs.
If that is the cause, can the state issue a law that does not allow the use of rat poison?

Visiting another Arboretum in California I had the blessing of meeting this female Mallard. It decided to accompany me once it saw me from its creek. Followed me for 1 hour everywhere I went and sat near me while I took landscape photos sitting on the bench.
