Subject: Cattle Egret, Common Moorhen - Fulton County

A farmer friend of mine told me he saw a bird and wondered if i could help him id it. he described the bird as mostly white with some spots of orangish brown spots with a long skinny neck and long legs about a foot and a half tall. he said the bird followed him around the field all day behind the tractor and he once saw it catch a mouse. i began thinking and came up with cattle egret. i showed him some pics and he said yea thats the bird. im not sure how rare this bird currently is in nw ohio but i found it interesting this sighting was in rural south delta. A different friend told me his grandpa had found a dead bird that he would like me to identify. he described it and i thought common moorhen then i confirmed this when i viewed the bird this was also in the country south of delta. he said his grandma was mowwing the yard when she flushed the bird from the very small decorative bushes close by the house and the bird flew straight into a large white barn and died immediatly. i consider both of these observations interesting and would like feedback from others on both occurences. joe
