About a month ago, I lead a photo tour for Dolphin Charters through Glacier Bay National Park. I always enjoy my time with my good friends Ronn Paterson, on board the 50-foot m/v Delphinus. This is one of my favorite images from that week-long adventure. Oystercatchers are very noisy, bold shorebirds that have all sorts of ways of leading an intruder away from their nesting areas. These two were hanging out just offshore and quickly flew over to greet us as we walked the shoreline. Since they are so bold, their antics make for great photo opportunities. Enjoy the photo.
