I am only a dabbler in watching birds, but it seems to me that my sightings of the common egret around the Chicago suburbs has increased dramatically in recent years. I never saw one up here until about 5 years ago, and now I see them often by roadside ponds and streams. What is the official story on egrets and their spread northwards? I realize they are responding to the relief from hunting that used to exist. Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this. Janet Levy jsl@ihlpm.ATT.COM
