Nature photographer Lisa Buchweitz said she knew that North Dakota had Cattle Egrets in the state but over the weekend was the first time she had come across them in our area. This is a photo of an adult. They are adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. Visit her Facebook page, “Northern Exposures by Lisa Buchweitz,” for more photos from her weekend adventure including a cattle egret catching. Photo by Lisa Buchweitz, Northern Exposures
