Look who joined the herd...

... Cattle Egrets!

They are just flying away in this pic, shy birds that they are. I guess they like cattle (and horses) more than people. Can't say that I blame them as they are shot periodically from the beach parks in Hilo.

We've seen a small flock of them swoop by at sunset. Then one day last week, there they were, right atop our cows! I'm very happy to see these beautiful birds up at the ranch. They will help with keeping the flies down, and besides, they are so pretty.

Oh, and look at those two little calves who have slipped out under the electric fence... Little rascals!
