Waiting and Ready by

The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) spends most of the year in the disguise of a mild-mannered smallish white bird with a slight tan cap on his head. But, when the breeding season arrives, there is no more splendid gentleman bird as he finds a well-placed tree branch for some serious girl-watching.
