It took me 20 years to get this image. I've observed this behavior several times in the past but it was either in the rain, in the fog, during a sandstorm or at a great distance. This day it was very overcast but with modern sensors, I was able to pull it off. There were 9, one week old chicks on the beach, but when this adult called, these 3 came a runnin' and hid under their momma. Gulls and crows were cruising the beach looking for a meal. We saw several crows carrying eggs and one with an Oystercatcher chick.
