It's that time of year when starlings (like the one above) and cowbirds get up close and personal with cattle in the fields. The cattle stir up all kinds of insects for the birds to gorge on. It's a very symbiotic relationship and lasts throughout the day. Occasionally the birds land on the backs of the cattle to forage but the cows' tails are constantly whipping across their backs, so the birds have to be quick to catch insects there.
Please comment if you wish.
