New Bird Expands Across United States Cattle Egret Boom
The cattle egret Bubulcus ibis, once rare in the United States, has exploded in numbers from Florida to Maine and Texas.

Its migratory arrival to the Americas remains debated, with theories of accidental introduction or storm-drift. The species now breeds on all continents except Antarctica.
