Florida Organic pest control.

These are cattle egrets, also called cow birds. They follow tractors and livestock around catching insects. They don't recognize either as a threat....until you get off the machine then all fly away. I got these pictures while on my tractor.

Thanks for the pics.
She's waving at you in the second picture.
I suppose her offspring will need a place in the shade as well, in a few years you will have your own herd. :biggrin:

We have the cousin here, Bufo marinus, or the cane toad. An invasive species, the same toad that is over running Australia. I kill everyone I see. Almost lost a dog to one years back.
Are they poisonous?

They have a toxic secretion that causes nausea, vomiting and hallucinations. If enough is ingested it can and does kill dogs. Sometimes I wonder if that why he's a little off. He can't hear very well anymore, like he's deaf in one ear.
I had to flush his mouth out with a hose to save his life. He was delirious for several hours and sick for a few days.
Wow nice pictures...you have to buy a plane ticket to get that high around here.

Looks like that marmot has a home with a view.

Thanks for using "could not care less" correctly. Most people seem to think it is
"could care less" (meaning, it would be possible for them to care less).
Great pictures and great view!
How do you tell the Cane Toads from normal Toads that are here naturally ?

What i meant to say was ,..my daughter was not afraid standing close to the edge of that cliff,..altough that bumped my heart rate more than a few notches.

The western toad adult is only about 3' long,.i believe the cane toad is much larger.
