Our cattle egrets finally showed up on April 10th. They have always heretofore arrived at the latest by March 25 every year. They are very welcome as their main diet is horse flies, grass hoppers, and army worms. When I was a kid we didn't have cattle egrets. I heard that about 40 blew in on a storm from Africa in the 1940s and they populated from that group. Do any of you folks up North have cattle egrets?


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
