White Heron in New Jersey.

Local naturalists and bird lovers are interested in a number of white heron which are making their headquarters at Avis’ Pond, Woodstown. N. J, about a mile from town. The birds were first noticed about a week ago. These are the birds from which aigrettes are obtained. Extinction ortho species is feared because the aigrettes can be obtained only when the bird is raising its young, and its death at the .hands of the hunter also means starvation of the young heron.
