Bird Formation Flying
#3
I think the white ones are the cattle egrets.

I remember learning in a biogeography class how the cattle egrets spent thousands and thousands of years in parts of Africa, then they popped up in South America in the 70s (I think), and have rapidly spread across the globe since then. It is almost like once they decided they could travel, they really went for it. Does anyone know when they hit Hawaii?
