On a Razor's Edge
A Bald Eagle landing and situating itself on a cluster of oysters in the Big Beef Creek Oyster Beds.
At a certain time of year the Midshipmen fish spawns among the oyster beds. As the tides recede, the Bald Eagles and other local birds start to hunt among the oyster beds and catch the midshipmen fish.
As a photographer the oyster beds area blessing and a curse. The razor sharp oyster shells keep people from venturing out further then beginning of the oyster beds as the tides go out and reveal the oyster beds.
I would always like to get closer to the wildlife I am shooting to a point, ( you don't want to get so close that you alter their behavior), and the oyster beds give a natural barrier to help insure just that.
