Egret
Egret Book

This is the true story, for children and adults alike, of a Great Egret named Stumpy. This majestic bird became entangled in some improperly discarded fishing line and tragically lost his right foot.

 

Read about his rescue, recuperation
and life on the banks of the
beautiful St. Johns River
in DeLand, Florida.

The purpose of this story is to bring awareness to the plight of wildlife as they struggle to survive.

As Stumpy says in the book, "Please be careful with your litter, especially monofilament fishing line. Dispose of your fishing line and other trash in proper containers. Remember - the life you save may be that of Stumpy Junior!"
