I've previously done posts on cattle egrets in Kenya, Africa and in Villahermosa, Mexico. I was recently in the vicinity of Niland, near the Salton Sea, and saw cattle egrets in a field as well as flying overhead.
The egrets were in breeding plumage with blond feathers on the head, neck, chest and back.
I love the way they fold up their necks in flight. Your last picture captures that well.
