Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, U.S.A., 1975 Photograph by James L. Amos

Two ivory cattle egrets flex their wings in an age-old ritual of courtship in which potential mates mirror each others movements. These birds are so named because they are often found near cattle or horses, feeding on the insects these animals attract.
