Western Cattle-Egrets

Several western cattle-egrets were vocalizing loudly while following sandhill cranes (not in photo) also loudly vocalizing not minding the egrets following them. In the image are two of the egrets looking alert. It's their nature to follow cattle and other animals waiting for them to flush insects into view (for them to eat). At times they may follow tractors or lawnmowers for the same result.
