American Oystercatcher - Nickerson Beach, NY
American Oystercatcher preening as the sun was rising at the Nickerson Beach, New York:
I was lucky enough to get this photograph right at sunrise as the sun was still very low on the horizon. Aligning the bird with the sun wasn’t that easy as you might think. Every fraction of the inch counts🙈
Did you notice the sand in the air? 🤩
