Birds of Kentucky: Snowy Egret



2025-05-07 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen.
A snowy egret makes a somewhat rare appearance at Lake Shelby. All About Birds says that "Plume-hunting for the fashion industry killed many Snowy Egrets and other birds until reforms were passed in the early twentieth century. The recovery of shorebird populations through the work of concerned citizens was an early triumph and helped give birth to the conservation movement."
