A few weeks back I posted some pictures of a Cattle Egret that were a bit distant and not great. I'm able to post some better ones now, after a chance encounter while sat in hide. This one flew in and took up residence on an island. Typically it's on the wrong side, so you can't see it's legs and feet, but it posed nicely and stayed a long time. I'm much happier with these pictures.
Cattle egrets were the first egrets I saw when I moved to Miami decades ago. Lovely photos today!
ReplyDeleteThe legs, however, are greatly missed over here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty capture of the Cattle Egret. Enjoy your day and have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteI predict that Cattle Egret is about to conquer Britain following hard on the footsteps of Little Egret and Great Egret before it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning your photos. The Cattle Egret is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bird. We had a Great Blue Heron visit us yesterday, a nice surprise. - Margy

Beautiful series of photos of the Cattle Egret.
ReplyDeleteBest regards, Irma
Good shots though. I like their chin whiskers. We don't have Egrets on the west side of the Cascade Mountains that I know of but on the east side there are Great Egrets and Snowy Egret. The Great has a yellow beak and the Snowy a black beak. Interesting

ReplyDeleteI love to see Cattle Egrets! And you DID get some great photos! We have them here but they are usually in flocks and sometimes hard to get one alone. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello. Cattle Egret looks so beautiful. Wonderful photos. I just wonder what the egrets are wondering when they are standing still for so long...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of beautiful Cattle Egret!
ReplyDeleteI have seen only a few here. Not close enough to get good photos.
Have a blessed day!
Beautiful photos! I've never had the opportunity to photograph egrets.
ReplyDeleteAnd no cattle to be seen. :) .....I have never seen an egret in person, so I enjoyed seeing your photos Adam...Michelle
