I saw this white bird as it was watching our horse and it appeared interested in watching until I came out and took a few images before it flew away. Our veterinarian was giving our animals their shots that morning and I asked him about this bird. He said it was a cattle egret and that they are originally from Africa, migrated to South America and then North America. He said they are plentiful in Wichita, Kansas. I did a google search and discovered that they like to sit on cattle and eat the insects off of them. Below are a few images that I captured of the cattle egret's short visit to our ranch. Enjoy!
