I took this photo at Nickerson Beach, Long Island, NY as they raced along the shoreline. The oystercatchers are flying over one of the black skimmer colonies.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Gorgeous light, location and subjects Morris! A very soothing image on a very hot 95 degree day here in Northern Ohio. Nice flight grouping

Really nice Morris! Especially considering you have all four Oystercatchers in the same focal plane.

You’re a busy guy Morris! Lots of excellent work and this is no exception. The only thing that would make it better in my opinion would be for that bottom oystercatcher to be slightly higher to have more separation form the parcel of them in the background.

I had to look up what a group of oystercatchers was called. Other options were a stew or a Rockefeller... not sure of the etymology of the latter.

Anyway, tell that one to fly higher next time!

Thank you Karl,

We got the heat yesterday and I went to the beach expecting to cool off. Well it was cooler yet 88 and humid is still hot. At sunset I was shooting while wading and had the pleasure of stunning light, waves and cooling off.

What, you don't see the fishing line holding them in place :-}

Thank you Jim,

Ya, my subjects don't take direction well. I've always been a prolific photographer and being retired and in a superb place for photography I'm producing images at a very fast rate. I guess I'll have some to share for the off season.
