Their snowy white feathers and yellow beaks make them really stand out against the green foliage. <br />My Dad farmed rice and had cattle, so cattle egrets are a very familiar sight to me. They liked hanging out in the rice fields and with the cattle because both were a great source of insects. And they had an insect-eating party when my Dad would cut (harvest) rice - the egrets would swarm after the combines, catching the insects stirred up by the machines. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-82483885631742599282015-06-23T12:29:56.612-05:002015-06-23T12:29:56.612-05:00Very striking bird.

They are also known as the cow bird or cow heron.<br />A flock of egrets is known as a 'stampede'.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-635489025088458792015-06-23T12:25:18.746-05:002015-06-23T12:25:18.746-05:00They are a scourge around here, roosting in trees ...They are a scourge around here, roosting in trees and making horrid messes, but they are protected so you can't get rid of them.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-10295271334673810252015-06-23T10:33:39.383-05:002015-06-23T10:33:39.383-05:00What cool looking birds!What cool looking birds!Lindsey Lewandowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394008636839061092noreply@blogger.com
