While touring Oahu, you will see these graceful, yet shy birds. These small white heron are often found in dry grassy habitats, unlike most herons which are associated with shallow water. Cattle egrets feed on insects, especially grasshoppers, and are usually found with cattle and other large animals which disturb small creatures which the egrets then catch.
A bird with a sense of humor. After firing about 15 shots, he decides to show me his good side!
According to the rangers at Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens, these birds often chase the lawn mowers, and perch on top of the seats awaiting their food. They believe this may be because the gardens have no larger animals to disturb their food thus rely on the lawn mower to scare the smaller creatures out which they eat.
