Human Impact

Human impact on egrets is primarily negative through habitat loss, pollution, and disturbance, though historical protections saved them from plume-trade extinction. Key impacts include the destruction of wetlands for development, agricultural chemical runoff (mercury/pesticides), entanglement in fishing gear, and disturbance of nesting colonies by boaters and pedestrians. 

Creative Exploration

I was looking for some fish to eat until there was a alligator tried to eat me. So I had to fly away and just look for insects on the ground. I found some grasshopper and crickets on the ground. After all that I went home to my nrst in the wetlands to go to sleep.
