Cattle Egret

Bubulcus ibis

Description:

These individuals are in high breeding plumage. Unlike normal breeding colors for this species, high breeding individuals have a bright red bill and legs and a purple area around the eye. I think they are just beautiful like this!

Habitat:

In a wetland surrounded by oak forest.
