Description
This photograph shows a brahman cow resting in a farmer's field in the Osa peninsula of Costa Rica, with a Yellow Headed Caracara falcon perched atop its hump and a cattle egret strolling by in the foreground. The egrets eat the insects the cow kicks up from the grass as well as ridding it of fleas and ticks. I would usually see cattle egrets surrounding the brahman cattle in the fields of Costa Rica.
A square version of this photograph is also available in of these collections: Birds, Animals, or Costa Rica.

Amazing capture, Peggy. Not unusual to see cattle egret around cows in the field but the falcon is a surprise to see. Very cool image. L/fv
Peggy Collins replied:
Thank you, Helen! I saw the occasional falcon hanging out on the fences around the cow pastures in Costa Rica but this was the only time I saw one taking advantage of the cow's hump. :-)
