Pics: birds (and a cow)

Lifebird! As long as I've been in Vermont (4 years this week!) I've been looking for cattle egrets. It's become a joke that every time we drive past cows, I moan, "no cattle egrets." I did that a few times today, and then "no cattle egrets... just some seagulls.... STOP! Those aren't seagulls!" So I saw my first five cattle egrets finally.
