--Boundary_(ID_z/ciUmmYugQ/NGIAVcpZWg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I'm sure the word "nesting" in the Herald caption for the photo of the two great egrets was just careless wording, and this misuse of the word "nesting" has happened before and doubtless continue in the future. I stand to be corrected, but the Herald writers of captions need to be cautioned about such things, in this case that "nesting" actually means having a nest for reproduction. Hence I am copying this to the Herald editors. Sincerely from Jim Wolford, Wolfville, N.S., 542-9204, a long-time subscriber and sometime griper.
