"The Snowy Egret wears a silky white wedding gown with a long lace
train and pledges his troth with a twig. She does, too - and itâs a
double twig ceremony. But who can tell the bride from the groom?
They can, and a few weeks later theyâre taking turns at babysitting,
keeping their love alive by swapping twigs at nest - relief. The
Snowyâs recovery from near-annihilation by plume hunters is one of
our countryâs happiest examples of conservation in action.â
