Ibises commonly nest near other waterbirds such as egrets, herons, spoonbills or cormorants. Preferred avian prey includes grebes, alcids, ducks, gulls, coots, herons, egrets, and geese. They include bald eagles, osprey, wild turkeys, owls, hawks, herons, egrets and ducks. There are roseate spoonbills, snowy egrets, and wood storks. There Huxley found egrets, herons and bitterns. The family Ardeidae contains the herons, egrets, and bitterns. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Little egrets nest in colonies, often with other wading birds. The area is home to a variety of wildlife including raccoon, egrets, hawks, and coyotes. Egrets hunt and live in both saltwater and freshwater marshes. This trade caused severe losses to bird populations (for example, egrets and whooping cranes). Not all interactions between humans and cattle egrets are beneficial.
