    Cattle egrets were, I think, and intentionally introduced species to Hawaii. They were introduced for pest control purposes, but have now become pests themselves as they predate on endemics such as Hawaiian Coots and Stilts. I wonder if it isn't also a problem that they decimate insect...

    Cattle Egret

    The only member of its genus "Bubulcus" means Cattle. This one is in breeding plumage showing cinnamon-buff on its head and breast. It is presumably the smaller less colorful nominate race, sometimes split as "Western Cattle Egret." It is believed to have reached South America naturally from...

    Presumably one of the same two birds seen 10 December at nearby Cypress Lawn Cemetery. This one is in non-breeding (basic) plumage lacking the cinnamon-buff plumes of breeding plumage. The broad rounded primary tips suggest it is an adult. Now uncommon in Northern California after former range...

    Cattle Egret

    The only member of its genus "Bubulcus" means Cattle. This one is in high breeding plumage showing a deep orange bill and extensive cinnamon-buff on its head and breast. It is probably a female based on the lack of cinnamon-buff plumes on its back. This is presumably the smaller less colorful...
