Week 9: Birds in Flight
Flight of the Oystercatcher. American Oystercatcher bring a Mole Crab to the chicks.
One beautiful shot. I love the clarity you were able to capture — even that incredible eye! Nice work.

I love how the wing is almost touching the sand, nice pic!
Thank you. I was photographing him finding mole crabs in the surf. Then he took off and flew up to his chicks with the food. It was amazing
