American Oystercatchers

[Axel Hildebrandt]

A while ago I posted an image I made earlier in this series. The parent caught and offered the mussel to his youngster. It was not difficult to persuade the juvenile to eat it. :)

Great series Axel. Light is champagne:D and the interaction puts it a notch above the rest!

[Doug Brown]

Great interaction, and eye contact with both birds is a big plus. Love the light and the sea foam.

[Maxis Gamez]

Lovely behavior and just in time Axel. Nothing else to say!

I liked the last image of this adult and juvie, but this one is even better. I really like the interaction here, and the head angles of both birds are great. Lovely framing and beautiful light.

You are really getting great images of the OCs, glad to see them and thanks for sharing them :)

You seems to be a shorebird lover Axel :D;)
Very nice Oystie images. This one I like the most maybe. So tender moment.
