I had one of our Nickerson Beach workshops on Saturday. Art Morris joined us on the beach and was able to create some fantastic images. Our clients were all very nice and I couldn’t imagine a better group. We were given a unique opportunity to photograph an Oystercatcher chick that was no more than 12 hours old. Plenty of Common Tern chicks. Skimmers filled the colony and the Least Terns never failed to dive bomb anyone that got too close. All in all it was a great day and many new friends were made.Below is an image of the Oystercatcher chick with one of the adults brooding another egg.
Here is one of the chick wandering around checking out it’s new turf.

Below is a Common Tern chick choking down a fish that the adult just brought in. By shooting wide open I was able to focus only on the chick and allow the rest of the image to be the backdrop- including the adult.

You did great with that tiny oystercatcher chick. And great with the group
My fave is the Common Tern chick with the huge fish.
Thank you for the kind words. They mean a lot coming from you.
