Yesteday, I checked on an Oystercatcher nest on the beach at Fort DeSoto State Park, Florida. My lucky day as 3 chicks hatched while I sat there and watched. Wish I could have been closer but Audubon has the site roped off and you have to stay a long way away (but I'm sure that it is a good thing).

They rope off nesting areas here, too, but the Oystercatchers are the most likely to take the chicks to the shore to feed them there.

Sweet view of the family. Has some strong halos in the JPEG, sure they could be eliminated.
