Cattle Egret

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.

  1. Cattle egrets were the first egrets I saw when I moved to Miami decades ago. Lovely photos today!

  2. The legs, however, are greatly missed over here.

  4. I predict that Cattle Egret is about to conquer Britain following hard on the footsteps of Little Egret and Great Egret before it.

  12. 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

  18. Hello. Cattle Egret looks so beautiful. Wonderful photos. I just wonder what the egrets are wondering when they are standing still for so long...
