Three Cattle Egret Chicks with a textured background. Cattle egrets are often seen in our Oklahoma pastures, perched on the backs of cattle, or at their feet, capturing the insects the cattle stir up as they walk.

Brilliant! Superbly captured! It mustn't have been easy to get close enough for this one, even with a long lens. The one on the left looks like a trouble-maker to me. Or perhaps he's just hungry ;-)
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, David! Actually, there is a rookery in a neighborhood a mile or so away, and I stood at the fence and the birds were 12 feet away! Lucky me!

Wow, how in the world did you get this close? f/v
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Karen! There is a rookery right off a busy street in Oklahoma City, a mile from my house. I stood at a rock fence and shot over it at birds 10 feet away! So lucky.

What especially odd looking creatures they are when their beak is opened like that! Super capture. Fave.

Thank you so much, the tongue kind of looks like what you'd think a devil's tongue would look like, lol!
