These photos are from Christina Sylvester, who reported Bubulcus coromandus as a frequently sighted species at Kwajalein in 2023 with as many as nine birds sighted at once and with sightings at various sites around the island. It was and still sometimes is considered a subspecies of the Western cattle egret, Bubulcus ibis. Cattle egrets were listed by Clapp (1990) as "rare vagrants" to the atoll, and the Avibase checklist for the Marshalls lists Bubulcus coromandus.
