• Great Egrets is the first episode in a new series on the State of Pennsylvania’s threatened and endangered species. Great Egrets nest in only two locations in the state, so monitoring their numbers and success from year to year is important for species conservation. Join us on our journey as we survey the egret colony on Wade Island, and learn a lot about egret natural history, behavior, and also why their numbers plummeted in the early part of the 20th century.
