Abstract
On May 29,1993,16 individuals of Cattle Egret Bubulcus ibis landed in the deck of a ship in the South Atlantic Ocean, at 290 nautical miles from Malvinas Islands and 450 from South Georgia. The birds showed severe reduction of pectoral muscle. Local West-East prevailing winds could have blown the birds from somewhere on the south Argentine coast.
