[edit] Unencyclopedic

Some parts of this article are in a rather unencyclopedic style, e.g.:

To see these behaviors I refer you to photographs at the web site of Peter Wallack, Birds of Sanibel, http://birdsofsanibel.free.fr/ ; these photographs can be place here and are free to use by any other non-profit environmental education effort.

Use of first person is odd, and I suggest moving the link to a Reference section, rather than saying: "I refer you to". Certainly, discussion of the licensing of the photographs does not belong in the article itself! Also:

Encouraging the protection and conservation of the remaining fresh-water and offshore islands, will help snowy egrets as other wildlife. To reduce disturbance to colonial nesting birds avoid travel and recreation near nesting areas during the breeding season. Do not allow pets to roam freely in coastal or wetland habitats.

This sort of directive for how the reader should behave is certainly not NPOV—I think it should be removed entirely. —johndburger 13:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
