With such a pretty bill and eyes you don't pay attention to the ugly feet.

-EXPLORED- Best Position #472

 

Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus Bachmani) taken with a nikkor 55-300mm handheld from a kayak. This always seems to happen with me, I want an action shot. So I take the initial shot and then check the display to see if I am exposed right. When I check the action happens (bird flys away). This was a plague with the oystercatcher but even though I did not get the flight shot I did get a nice picture.
