Cattle Egret

Cattle Egret

What are all those white birds?
The white cattle egret is commonly seen in pastures eating alongside cattle. But why? They have what's called a symbiotic relationship. As the cattle walk along the egret eats insects & flies that the cattle stir up. The cattle are glad to have them there. It's their own built in fly zapper! Who wouldn't want a natural fly deterrent while you're trying to eat? Thank you very much!
