We get some of the smaller varieties like the Green Heron too. ===================== Boots were made for walking Winds were blowing change Boys fall in the jungle As I Came of Age

Like seeing them. This summer I've seen a great egret (same size and looks, just all white) several times. Don't see them often in Nebraska - at least where I've hung out. Tried to get pics, but he's pretty shy. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving..

Besides the number of fish they eat, is the number of fish they "spear" when in your pond. They may stick a fatal hole in quite a few fish before they end up with one on their beak.
