M. M. SOSHEHOSSSSSSSSSSSSSOSEES (Editor's Note: This article | ‘on the Great White Heron is | the first of a series on the in- dividual birds to be found on the Florida Keys.) Ward‘s Heron Both in Key West and along the’ Overseas Highway one may see at; intervals a large, slim bird, stand- ing motionless against a back- ground of mangrove roots or stalking sedately about the shal- low ponds in search of food. The casual eye gets an impression of a rather attenuated body with long legs, neck and bill, and a general, somewhat indefinite col- or scheme of dull smoke gray, Look through a pair of binoculars, however, and you get a picture done in softest pastel shades, beautifully matched and blended, to make one of our handsomest | water birds. This is the Ward’s | Heron, the local sub-species of ‘the Great Blue Heron which has a wide distribution in North | America. Known in the Keys as ; the “Blue Crane” it is not a crane | at all, but one of the largest of | the heron 4HBé® OF8]164" Qern 4 ae (a its status will become uncertain \in this generation.

Howell, the authority on Florida | bird life, calls Florida an ideal |home for this big heron, and in- !deed, the state could and should {support hundreds of water birds {for each one she now has. The food of this heron: consists mainly of small fish, mostly not edible, frogs, small! spakes, field < mice and the like. The birds begin to meet in No- vember and continue until April, » the nests being built in tall trees if these are available, but’ they readily adjust themselves to their surroundings and have been known to nest in low bushes. The big birds are now coming back to Key West along with the Great White Herons, and if given the chance they richly deserve, will add much to the beauty and charm of the place. They are a rightful and fitting part of the Picture, which, without them must be incomplete. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT OVER - SEA HOTEL Now Being Completely Renovated OPEN THE YEAR AROUND Moderate L. S.
