    This is another image from a recent trip to Ft. Desoto. This is the oystercatcher that Gail Bisson wrote about in a previous post of mine having a fishing line around it leg in 2013. She told the rangers, they removed it and the bird is well and thriving in 2016. A nice ending to the story. I think it indicates that birds go back to the same places again and again. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Good, solid image of this hardy OC.
    Perfect exposure and HA and I like the walking pose.
    The little wave has just the right amount of bubbles to add interest to the BG,
    Gail

    Perfect head angle, good exposure - both the whites and the blacks look good. The soft foamy surf is a nice touch. Perhaps a bit more room above needed, if you have it.
