A windy day on the beach with American Oystercatchers
4

I had my first good shoot since getting sick yesterday visiting Nickerson Beach to photograph the American Oystercatchers and there mating rituals. I captured that and more on a day where it was mostly just me and the Oystercatchers on the beach. After about an hour they started to accept me and walked within a few feet a few times. This is what I want as when they know me they will allow me near there nest and even parade there chicks in front of me, there friend. It was in the 60's inland and sunny yet at the beach it was 50 when I arrived and there was a good breeze. The breeze turned into a stiff wind rather than subsiding as forecast. I'm sharing this photo which shows the blowing sand and will share more when I've processed them.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris
