A preening great egret

This bird was nearly wiped out in the US in the 1800s due to fashion’s demand for its plumes. Conservationists stopped the slaughter and protected the great egret which became the symbol of the National Audubon Society.

Common mullein

 

Mullein stems once were dipped in tallow to make torches. It is also called flannel leaf due to the texture of the leaves or "Quaker rouge” in reference to the practice of reddening cheeks by rubbing them with a mullein leaf.
