Yesterday afternoon we found ourselves at Bryan Beach with some gorgeous light but struggling to find a subject for it to shine on. Eventually we encountered this American Oystercatcher and tried to get into a good position. To out surprise the oystercatcher walked right up to us and at one point was so close that we couldn’t even focus on it. I was thrilled that we were able to enjoy such glorious light on such a cool looking bird.
