American Oystercatchers

This is another image I made on Long Island. The juvenile walked with the parent and received quite a few snacks.

Super shot. Love the interaction.

Lovely eye & beak contact. Good behavioural shot. Were you feeding them Oysters or normal snacks?

There was no need to feed them. They found plenty of mussels on the beach. :)

Ohh...I thought apart from carrying your gear, you had to carry a fishing net to catch some snacks for them. :D

Sorry. I actually misread your post. When you wrote ."....and received quiet a few snacks" I assumed you were feeding it.

I love the beak colour of the mom. Again, nice shot.
