This Oystercatcher was very cooperative and landed right in front of me at the perfect distance so that I didn't clip his wings. :)

Axel, wonderful incoming pose with those fully spread wings and tail!  Classy tone on tone colors along with the nice pop of red.

Thanks, Denis, and you are right, this was at Nickerson Beach two days ago. There are good numbers of Terns, Skimmers and Oystercatchers this year. The Skimmers nest pretty far back and you can't get close to the chicks before they will start getting closer to the water.
