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.

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!

This lovely family of American Oystercatchers really showed me the integral meaning of the word family. The female partner at all moments stayed close to the chicks while the male partner scans the ground for any edible matter and bring it close to the rest of the family. At the same time, he tried all kind of antics in order to keep the photographer far from his family. It was the first time for me to see the oystercatcher as a family with chicks. It was quite an experience for me.
