Enlarging the photo gives such a better view. I love the reflection of the bird in the wet sand.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835532789424095913.post-2746247815501563852008-04-13T01:38:00.000-05:002008-04-13T01:38:00.000-05:00Great photo of the oyster-catcher.

I've seen them on the central coast of California, especially at Point Lobos, between Carmel and Big Sur. They seem to hang out in pairs a lot and don't seem terribly afraid of humans.AphotoAdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581940419934089601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835532789424095913.post-21447209958869398672008-04-06T15:30:00.000-05:002008-04-06T15:30:00.000-05:00I had some great looks at oystercatchers yesterday...I had some great looks at oystercatchers yesterday.
