The predawn view from Nickerson beach near Boston. Sometimes the colors before dawn are what impresses me the most, so I try to arrive in good time. With a little bit of clouds, you never know what you're gonna get :)
Happy new week all!

You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Psalm 139: 1-3

How precious to me are your thoughts, oh God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Psalm 139: 17-20

From the side, their bills look thick and bulky, but when it's coming right at you doing 30 mph, it looks like a needle that would poke your eyes out. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.
Juvenile American Oystercatcher (Haematopus)
A little over two weeks old this guy is growing fast. They still depend on the parents to bring food to them. We didn't see any little ones go close to the ocean to catch food. It did get close to me as I was laying on the beach shooting it. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.
Semipalmated Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla)
I may have seen one of these before but didn't know what it was until someone pointed it out last week. They all look the same to me. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.

This little guy is only a day or two old and is learning how to walk. The adult flies back with food and makes the chick come to them teaching them how walk.
