More American Oystercatcher Chicks

Some more American Oystercatchers with chicks from Nickerson Beach, Long Island. Still going through my Raw files from the other week. This pair had 3 chicks which were following the male. The male was picking up tid bits on the beach feeding the chicks, then they ran back to mom and stayed close to her.
