American Oystercatcher in a Sandstorm.

[Karl Egressy]

The picture was taken on 24th of January 2010 at North Beach Fort De Soto, Florida.
The wind was wery strong, carrying the fine sand wich made an interesting effect on the
for-and background.
Thanks for looking.

I like it Karl! The wind made the BG even more pleasing. The detail on the bird is really nice.

Handsome shot. That white Florida sand makes this feel more like a blizzard. Nice one-footed pose. Might have wished for just a bit of head-turn.
