A Great Egret perches in a tree in the Port Royal Plantation area of Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Egrets nested in these trees. I first thought the smaller white bird was a young Egret
but now think it is a White Ibis hanging out in the same trees.
Additional bird images are in my Birds and Animals gallery.
