    I guess from a second nesting. This little one was running around with it's parents this AM. The other birds in the colony weren't to happy about it being there so the parents will have a tough time keeping the Skimmers and Terns from killing it.

    Joe, Is this an Oystercatcher? I like that you caught it in stride. These chicks are so tiny I often think smaller in the frame is better. Would like to see more room to left and right. Perfect lighting you had for this guy.

    Good Shooting!

    Adorable, Joe. LIke the striding pose and the look of determination on his (or her!) face.

    I like the angle in this, and well exposed. I would maybe sharpen him a bit more.

    On my monitor it looks a tad soft, I wouldn't crop to a square format here and also a wider comp would be nicer IMO. Great light, pose, exposure and species. Congratulations!
