Shimmering vibrant colours and diversity of species such as the Great Egret, marks Costa Rica as one of the principal Central America countries with a territory and tropical rainforest that hosts migration from north America and south America to give it unparalleled numbers and variation of birdlife

Egrets are large white birds and are like herons except for the fact that they have white feathers. They live in marshes, ponds and on the edge of lakes. Their nests are in trees or shrubs and they are considered a symbol of purity and strength.

$Western Cattle Egret.\nThe western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. Most taxonomic authorities lump this species and the eastern cattle egret together (called the cattle egret), but some (including the International Ornithologists' Union) separate them. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century.\n\nIt is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Western cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.\n\nThe adult cattle egret has few predators, but birds or mammals may raid its nests, and chicks may be lost to starvation, calcium deficiency or disturbance from other large birds. This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range. The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them. This benefits both species, but it has been implicated in the spread of tick-borne animal diseases.$

The Pantanal is a terrestrial ecoregion in South America belonging to the flooded grasslands and savannahs biome. It extends mainly in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, but also in that of Mato Grosso and covers a smaller portion of Bolivia (the Bolivian Pantanal) and Paraguay. It is the largest wetland on the planet, an immense plain with an area estimated between 140,000 km2 and 195,000 km2 where rivers flow gently during the wet season in numerous meanders and submerge more than 80%. of the territory, drowned under water four months a year

In Yongju-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, there is an auxiliary dam downstream of Hapcheon Dam, which is a stage for the activities of the erets in summer. This photo shows the ethrobs flying to catch fish as small fish drift away from the hapcheon dam, which is the main dam, and discharges water to the auxiliary dam for development.
