Cattle Egret

Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) are not birds native to North America and thus were not documented by John James Audubon. They have colonized much of the world in the 20th century and now are a common sight. They can be found near large hooved animals in a symbiotic relationship by cleaning insects off their skin.
