The snowy egret (Egretta thula) is a small white heron. It is the American counterpart to the very similar Old World little egret, which has established a foothold in the Bahamas. At one time, the beautiful plumes of the snowy egret were in great demand by market hunters as decorations for women's hats. This reduced the population of the species to dangerously low levels. Now protected in the United States by law, under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, this bird's population has rebounded.

 

 

Yesterday, I discovered Malware on my computer and called a company I use called Geeks on Site. They took control of my computer and cleaned it up and removed all malware, Adware, and Viruses. It took them over 6 hours to fix everything and they also managed to speed up my computer.
