The Oystercatcher had just grabbed some food for the kids when this wave came in, they can run pretty fast if they have to. :)

Photographed at Nickerson Beach at first light.

Wonderful frame, Axel.
Love the motion, light and the surf in the background puts it over the top.
If I see it well, it has a little fish in the beak, very nice.
