American Oyster Catcher and a Rainbow
As we observed from our balcony, we saw this American Oyster Catcher walking near the shore. Lucy suggested I take photos of it. I went down and saw the Bird fly away. I took a moment to take a few shots of the water.
Then at a distance, I saw the American Oyster Catcher finishing his breakfast. I decided to run towards it and get closer. That was the closest I was able to get.
Living close to the beach allows us to be in contact with mother nature or as the ancient Taino's call Atabey.
But what is the chance that I would get this waterbird and a rainbow in the background on the same Isla Verde Beach day?
