Cattle Egret

Unlike other herons and egrets, the Cattle Egret spends more time in dry fields than streams and ponds.  It often follows cattle, horses, tractors or lawnmowers, bobbing its head, waiting for insects to be flushed out.  Originally from Africa, it made its way to North America around 1950 and is now abundant.
