Bird hitches a ride

Maybe a cattle egret, they ride like that on cattle.

Probably can't take off once you are over about 5 mph, the driver was kind to let it get off again.
 
Yes, It appears to be a cattle egret

Really clear video. Its uncommon to get pictures of birds you could almost use in a bird watching guide on your dash cam, but its not every day you get a bird to land on your your hood when driving. My pictures of Snow owls and hawks are nothing to write home about, due the quality of the camera in one case and the distance in the other.

We had two tired warblers use our fishing rods as tree branches when trolling many years ago as they were migrating south.
