These photos were taken February 22, 2012 at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, a 7,415-acre site in northwestern Missouri established in 1935 as a resting, feeding, and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife.

Lord of Leisure, accompanied by his trusty sidekick, Hippie With Tiara, found lots of ducks, a score of Trumpeter Swans and an equal number of Bald eagles, but the stars of the show were the Snow Geese, of which approximately 1.1 million were in attendance on the day the photos were shot..

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.
