Thanks, Mia! There are not a lot of white birds around here, so we can’t help but notice them when they fly over us. Reply
Here, we call them tick birds. They like to ride around on the backs of cattle and peck off (and eat) ticks. Reply
That’s interesting. Egrets are large birds. I would think they would tick off the cattle while eating ticks off the cattle. Thanks, Cathy! Reply
Stunning photos Tim, the egrets look incredible against the blue of the sky. ~ Mia
