ngannet Goldmember  3,164 posts Joined May 2005 Location: NJ More info | May 05, 2006 18:59 | #1 One of the most beautiful (and exotic looking) shorebirds. They are noisy and very visible, but not so approachable. I got lucky! And I was happier than I expected with these shots. Hope you like. These were taken on the beach at Stone Harbor NJ..the same place where I took my Snowy Owl shots in Winter. These were taken with the 400mm and Tamron 1.4 teleconverter.     RESPECTING NATURE while photographing it...

The Oystercatcher is indeed a very noisy bird but a fun one to shoot. Love the composition in all shots. Number three is my favorite. Like the slightly raised foot and the water splashes around it. The once we have here have more orange colour in their feet. Love these shots. Well done indeed. Best regards

The red beak and the matching red eyes are really striking compared to the red of the body colors. ...Leo

Not only have you captured them well but you have highlighted the behavioral of them too. Great shots! Canon 5D + Canon 20D + Canon EOS 300
