I birded savannas of Southern Africa, I birded India and Central America, and I always missed having a local mammal guide with me.

The Cattle Egret is native to Africa, where it is a familiar sight among herds of large mammals. Cattle Egret has been introduced by humans to Hawaii and the Seychelles. I’d like to introduce you to a diminutive heron, the Cattle Egret Bubuclus ibis. A few other intentional releases in other areas were not successful.
