McDonald" Subject: Re: local waterfowl names MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone ever heard use of the name "striped egret"? I have a second-hand wood-sculpted bird with that name hand written on the label. The sculpture is obviously an American Bittern but I have never come across the "striped egret" moniker in any other source other than the label on the sculpture.
