EAGRETS ARE POPULAR
ATTRACTION AT REFUGE
Flock of 400 Large White Birds, Men,
bers Of Heron Family. Currently
Visiting Maftamuskee+

Many visitors to the u. S. Fish
and Wildlife Services Mattamus-
keet Refuge at New Holland now
are enjoying watching a flock of
between $50 and 400 American
egrets and snowy egrets which are
currently paying their annual visit
to the refuge, Willie Gray Cahoon,
refuge manager, said this week.
The eagret, a member of the heron
family, is an all-white bird, and
they are described as a beautiful
and spectacular sight when they
congregate together; hunting of
eagrets is prohibited by the fed
.eral government.
The eagrets all roost nights in
trees along the bank of a canal a
short distance from the refuge
headquarters at the Mattamuskeet
Lodge, Mr.. Cahoon said,, and the
best time to see them is in the
late afternoon up until dark as
they return to the trees to roost.
A refuge road runs along the bank
Of the canal, and the eagrets'
roosting area may be reached by
driving past the Mattamuskeet
Lodge and crossing the canal, then
turning right onto a dirt road and
driving straight down the canal
bank across from the Lodge. Other
small game animals and numbers
of deer are also frequently seen
along this road, which in addition
gives an excellent view of the lake
shore.
