Audubon Society Offers Its Egrets
The snowy egret, found in marshy areas of coastal Orange County, shuffles its feet along in the water to stir up food. The egret, actually a small white heron, is easy to spot with its pure white feathers, the plume on top of its head and its yellow feet known as “golden slippers.”
The Marin Audubon Society prints two artistic black-and-white environmental posters, one of wildlife in a salt marsh, the habitat favored by the snowy egret, the other of pond life.
The posters are on heavy, matte stock. They’re gorgeous enough for framing and, at $2.50 each, inexpensive enough to let a toddler have at them with crayons or watercolors.
You do need to pay sales tax--19 cents per poster--and shipping costs of $3. The good news is that the shipping cost is the same whether you order one poster or two. So the total cost for both posters would come to $8.38.
