象牙牛鹭鸶,美国,1975

中文注释：

两只象牙牛鹭鸶正挥舞着翅膀,进行着古老的求爱仪式--这对未婚的夫妻互相重复着对方的动作. 这种鸟的叫这个名字是因为其经常出现在牛群和马群的附近,它们以牲畜们引来的昆虫为食.

英文注释：

Cattle Egrets, United States, 1975

Two ivory cattle egrets flex their wings in an age-old ritual of courtship in which potential mates mirror each other's movements. These birds are so named because they are often found near cattle or horses, feeding on the insects these animals attract.
