Oystercatcher in Flight
Tried to make a trip to Bolivar Flats yesterday but couldn’t get there as it looked like I might get my car stuck in the sand with all of the rain that the Houston area had last week. Ended up heading to the Texas City dike in search of the elusive American Oystercatcher. Found him in the usual spot and got this shot as he flew off.

Ah it’s always the water droplets that add that nice touch.

This is fantastic Tim! Wondering – are you offering any workshops this next year?

I agree Lyle. It always helps to have some drops in shorebird photos. Getting a take off shot paid off.

Thanks Emily. I will be leading workshops again next year at Galveston’s Featherfest in April. I also do individual field trips. Shoot me an email if you are interested.
