Where does cattle Egret nest?
The massive and rapid expansion of the cattle egret's range is due to its relationship with humans and their domesticated animals. As the keeping of livestock spread throughout the world, the cattle egret was able to occupy otherwise empty niches. Although the cattle egret sometimes feeds in shallow water, unlike most herons it is typically found in fields and dry grassy habitats, reflecting its greater dietary reliance on terrestrial insects rather than aquatic prey.
