Birthday Surprise
This cattle egret was one of 18 (!) in a field about 5 miles from my home. It was raining lightly all day, very gloomy, but we had taken a drive and enjoyed lunch out for my birthday. As we returned home, road construction caused us a slight detour- and I could not believe my eyes as we passed a field (in a very busy area) with what I was sure were cattle egrets dotted around in the tall grasses. They show up in Indiana from time to time but are not common here, and usually in very small numbers. I turned around, drove back and pulled in the driveway beside the pasture, and as I took a few photos my husband counted 18! I see this is dated 2020, looks like I need to correct my camera. This is 2021.
