With everyone disking, rowing up and planting....where the hell are the cow birds? There are usually 30 or so behind a disk. We planted about 1200 acres of corn and nary a single bird was seen. I'm in NELA. I only saw crows.
Eta: Apparently their true name is Cattle Egret.

Interesting...I can’ t say that I have seen many either...maybe they are late migrating this year for some reason.

Nets on the arky/la border stopped them. Plus all the units to cool the ponds up north are changing their habits

Legitimately haven’t seen one this spring. It is a bit strange.

The reports on ebird seem to show a little less coverage, but NELA is always spotty for Cattle Egrets this early in the year.
Here's a visual of the January - March observations in the last 10 years:
And here's this year's observations to date. Similar, but a bit less coverage:

They nest on the across the lake my camp is at. They roll out in the morning and back at dusk. First volley of guns in the September teal season, they gone. Always wonder how many chicks fall in the water below and the gators scarf up.
