The Lord of Leisure¹ Photo Gallery

This simply splendid photo of a tree packed with a breeding colony of  Great Egrets was taken last week by Lord of Leisure on Hilton Head Island, located off the southeastern coast of South Carolina. Click on image for best viewing.

And yes, there are more shots of this sort to follow.

1. Lord of Leisure was previously known in these posts as Mr. Science. Both Lord of Leisure and Mr Science spend most of their time disguised as Neil Ellis, mild-mannered, retired teacher at a great suburban school system, who can identify a bird by its call, complete the New York Times Friday Crossword in ink, and snap a heck of a photo. All Lord of Leisure photos can be found at Photos – Lord of Leisure. [↩]
