Oyster Catchers are colorful and interesting birds to watch in their natural habitat. I made these photos June 4-5 on Assateage Island, Virginia.

You shot that at 800mm?!

They're all excellent, but there's something about that fourth shot, with the bird stalking off in a huff... ;)
Thanks, RMM; that photo does have a certain feel.

Very nice! Have you ever seen them eating oysters? They really do that. They force their bill between the oyster shell halves jackhammer style, cut the muscle and pull the oyster out. It only takes about 20 seconds!
Thanks, Birdpix; no, I haven't seen them eating oysters, but I hope to one of these days.
