Description
The cattle egrets thrived in Hawaii and by the early 1970s colonies of up to 1,500-2,000 breeding birds were reported from Oahu and Kauai. By 1981 the statewide population was estimated at 30,000 birds. Cattle Egrets are considered a pest as they are nest predators of Hawaiian Stilts and Hawaiian Coots.
