Photography of Birds -Set#15

These Snowy Egrets, are calmly flying over the swamp lake. If you noticed, they are showing their famous yellow feet. Their feet are down because they need “drag” in order to fly slow.

American Oystercatcher

Look at this handsome American Oystercatcher, He stood in front of me to veer away from that area (His nest was about 29 feet from there. I understood his silent message and turned away from his nest. Nice guy!

I like that you can pick up on the signs of the Oystercatcher and respect his space.

I love these critters. These look like our pied oystercatchers in Australia.
