Abstract: A review of an article that gives details about the concerning health issues of Egrets a class of white feathered birds with long black legs and researched information of how diseases in birds can create a huge effect on the health of humans. It discusses their research methods and experimentation used to conduct evidence for the host of bacterial diseases in the Egret bird population can contribute to arthritis and its possibility to spread to other bird types as well. In the beginning

For almost as long as humans have been on Earth, we have changed landscapes drastically to suit our needs, historically often without regard to the damage caused in the process. This has changed over time, with the passing of legislation like the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act, the creation of national and state parks, and efforts being made to restore degraded ecosystems. While we may never see perfect natural systems again, especially in areas heavily populated by humans, reconciliation

that pond. In the beginning the boy is already disregarding his parent’s rules. During the second half of the stanza the boy “blasted the snowy egret” in the moon light. I imagine this part being very calm and gentle. As well as having a full moon in the background giving enough light to be able to see the bird without the use of a flashlight. The snowy egret is part of the calamity, staying quiet and still with it’s environment. All of a sudden the boy takes away the bird’s peaceful and pure life.

The range of boating adventures I’ve experienced in the 1000 Islands is considerable. I recall one outing that continues to stand out, and I revisit it now as I fondly remember the captain of that occasion, William E. Browning III, who passed away in 2013. A small contingent of river rats including Browning and myself were enjoying an evening libation at the St James Hotel & Saloon when Bill said, “Tad, I have a group of bird watchers coming from Watertown tomorrow to see what will soon be the

In Country by Bobbie Ann Mason, an egret played a role in peace. The writer tells the reader of the book about the suffering and sadness of a man who went through the Vietnam War, using the egret as the symbol of peace. This book was written from the view of Samantha, who is the teenager and the main character. She lived with Emmet who is her uncle who went to the Vietnam War. He did not have a job and was not accepted by society. He always looked for the egret which he saw during the war. She asked

Since the Chincoteague ponies have lived on Assateague Island, Virginia since the early 1600s, they have become well adapted to the harsh environment there. The temperatures are extreme in summer and winter. The ponies have a very limited diet consisting mostly of salty marsh grasses. Because of the high salt content, the ponies drink twice as much water fresh water as normal horses. This extra amount of water combined with high salt diet causes the ponies’ bellies to swell. This bloated appearance

Symbiosis is a close relationship between two organisms from different species, sometimes both species benefit and sometimes not. Three different types of symbiosis I want to discuss are, are mutualism, commensalism, and Parasitism. Mutualism is a close relationship were both species benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between goby fish and shrimp. The shrimp digs a hole into the sand and both the shrimp and goby fish live there. Due to the fact that the shrimp is almost blind, the

a worried tone, and use of description has the reader feeling endangered, creating an intense experience for the reader. In the poem “Egrets” a relaxed, conversational tone is presented by Wright, like “Woman to Man”, the constant rhyming pattern creates a rhythm and consequently a tone that is extremely calm and peaceful which helps explore the idea of the “Egrets” wading peacefully through the water. This tone assists the exploration of the beauty of the natural environment for the reader which

The Twenty Mile Neighborhoods If you’re seeking a new, truly custom Florida home in the Jacksonville area, you won’t find more of a “custom” location that the Twenty Mile neighborhoods in Nocatee.

Although the most historically and environmentally sensitive acreage is preserved — approximately
