This is one of those at least I caught it photos. If I remember correctly the beach was closed beyond where I sat because of it being a nesting area for most likely another bird. This oyster catcher flew into the area in front of me and was looking for a meal.
According to All About Birds “American Oystercatchers are the only birds in their environment with the ability to open large molluscs such as clams and oysters.”
Even though it was still quite a distance, at least I saw it. These were taken with a zoom lens and are heavily cropped. Have a great Sunday!

Beautiful catch!
Which Zoom lens did you use for this click?

Don’t you just love serendipity? But again, if you are not out looking you will never see something like this or other things.

This is one location in NJ I went to for one day. Someday I might return. I ran into some people this summer who came from Germany just to go birding. They had their list and this was on it. I told them to go to this location. Hopefully they did. I did not see it at other locations I went to. I guess they return to the same places just to nest.
