I went back to Nickerson Beach to enjoy the Oystercatcher Mating Season. They are the first of our summer birds to arrive each year here on Long Island, NY and I love being on the beach when it's just me and the birds. I was up on my tripod taking flight photos when I saw her signel him and chose to compose immediately rather than hit the quick release for a nice low angle as I did not want to miss there mating. I did not and later in the day, captured them from nice low angles as I witnessed them mating 4 times in the 3 hours I was there. I have lots more American Oystercatcher behaviour to share.
