    I really enjoyed watching these cattle egrets. Have never paid them much attention before, but in their breeding plumage they do look a pretty picture.

    Into The Setting Sun

    Birds flying towards the setting sun have always fascinated me. It is ever such a sight to behold. Here, cattle egrets fly off into the sunset after feeding in the fields.

    Tricks.

    When the farmer wants the cattle to come in for milking he has a bucket of food which he shakes and call the cows. On this day the cattle and the Egrets were on the far side of the field. I grabbed a bucked, put in two hands full of gravel to make the same sound and called the cows. In they came...

    Egrets' Colony

    This one is for Carl. Shot in an almost dry swamp lake just outside the city limits. Believe it or not, the flock was much bigger than this, close to a thousand maybe. Zoomed into a portion of the flock to retain clarity & details. Any takers for a census of this flock?

  16. Cattle Egrets

    Cattle Egrets

    Cattle egrets have a symbiotic relationship with cattle and have a habit of following them, not usually observed in other egrets. While the egrets feed on the insects/ fleas milling around the cattle, the cattle don't seem to mind the company of egrets as their body gets cleaned up for free.
