Love the deer! Looks like a large insect or maybe a hummingbird (??) is in between them. The foot shadow on the inside of the wing on the night heron is an interesting detail. The oyster catcher is an interesting bird...I'd like to see more photos of that species.

Thanks D, It was large bees for sure. I was pretty surprised about the crappy Canon sensor.. This one was at ISO 2500. I was on a 16 foot run about on long island sound being pushing by tide and rocking a bit. There was a very small rocky outcropping where I saw 5 of the Oyster catchers...

All of these are awesome of course, but #6 is the awesomest.... Maybe ever.

Superb Sweetness! Really loving the double Osprey and the double Bambi.

I'm guessing those oystercatchers use that long, long bill to poke into oysters, almost like an oyster knife, and maybe eat away at the oyster in its shell. Thanks for posting the second shot. I find those birds beautiful, in an odd way...such strange coloration they have. I don't think we have this species here in the far west, but I'm not very knowledgeable about birds.

That osprey shot is just stunning, but then your work usually is!

Looks like the left coast has Black Oystercatchers.. Black Oystercatcher Identification All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology Yup, the bill gives it away..
