[QUOTE="Owen Krout, post: 3403037, member: 131330"] [b]more photos[/b] some more. For those interested, the better shots are available full size at: [url]https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B085Uzl7Vdwbwj[/url] for awhile. Some interesting info that I picked up. Mr Lu estimated the [B]Great White Egret[/B] to be about 2500 - 3000 nesting birds and about 2000 each of [B]Intermediate Egret & Chinese Pond Heron[/B]. He only estimated 300 [B]Black-Crowned Night Heron[/B], but I would say he was considerably low on that number unless they were just much easier to observe. [B]Purple Heron & Eastern Cattle Egret[/B] he estimated at maybe 500 each. He said he wasn't sure about the [B]Grey Heron[/B] but they were only in one small nesting area which was even isolated from the rest of the rookery. Another point I picked up is that he is also a correctional officer and the facility actually belongs to the police through the prison which is located near-by. Nobody actually said it was using convict labor, but it was not denied either. A couple of sharply uniformed lady officers during my last visit followed me around taping me and asking questions. They rather reluctantly finally said it was to be used to make a presentation to the prisoners to show them people appreciated the nature sanctuary. Oh, yes and by the way, delete those photos of us and don't tell anybody our names.
