Field Notes
Description:
Small white heron found in the tropics, sub tropics and warm temperate zones
Habitat:
with cattle, where they eat small organisms scared up by cow hooves. In turn, the egrets eat ticks and external parasites and may serve as early warning systems for the herds they follow: especially in places where there are large predators
Notes:
This was about as close to a cattle egret as I got although they were literally everywhere cattle were
