cattle egret
Bubulcus ibis

The cattle egrets started to settle, but Rick and Joey started walking toward the bison.

I could see a small group of buffalo in the distance; snow-white cattle egrets dotted the grass around them and perched on their backs.

The cattle egret totaled about 40 pair last year, according to the Audubon Society survey.

The cattle egret thrives near garbage dumps that attract the flies on which it feeds.

Genus Bubulcus - cattle egrets (1-2 species, sometimes included in Ardea)

The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them.

Another example is the black drongos and the cattle egrets found in India.

The year had already seen several spoonbills and purple herons, even a cattle egret had put in a couple of appearances.

Raids of cattle egrets and weaver bird nests have been observed where the vervets will eat the eggs and chicks.

Several species of falcon as well as cattle egrets are often seen hunting songbirds.
