Morning Stretches
Tuesday, October 3, 2023,
This is an Oystercatcher going through his morning workout, including a big yawn to start it all off. There was a whole series of pics with the wings in and the wings out, but most of them were fairly similar, so I chose just two of them to give you the general gist of the moment. JK

An Oystercatcher That’s Been Caught
Friday, September 22, 2023,
This Oystercatcher has a problem. He’s got a Mussel attached to one of his toes. Years ago, I would see Oystercatchers dining on Mussels on the north shore. This seems like some sort of delayed Karma. I was only able to observe him for about a half hour, and in that time, he made two short, low flights. Obviously, he cannot migrate with this sort of baggage. I don’t know how this ends. My hope is that the Mussel will eventually loosen its grip on this unlucky fellow. JK

A Common Tern in Flight
Thursday, September 14, 2023,
This is a Common Tern that I managed to catch in flight during a recent visit to Nickerson Beach. This photo is larger than the ones I usually post, so you should definitely click on the pic to see the full-sized image. JK
