Brackish and tidal habitats are one of many habitat types that support an extensive amount of bird populations in wetland ecosystems (Stolen et al. 2007). However, tidal fluctuations can be of an influence in abundance for Great egrets between many habitat types. The objective of this study is to understand if Great egret abundance is influenced between the brackish pond and the restored tidal habitat as well as certain tide periods of the day.
