The 26th day of the 7th month

I GIVE YOU

"The Luvable Lil Fuzzball"

On sale on my Etsy site!


This is a cattle egret I shot at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida.  The bird just has personality and is all dressed up in mating plumage.  Normally a totally white bird but in the early spring when the head turns to the heart......color shows on crown and chest.

They get their name from the habit of co-habitating with cattle.  As the cattle move through the fields, they disturb all sorts of bugs, toads, lizards, and such.  Just what the birds look for to eat.  So it is a symbiotic relationship!
