Once seen, you can never forget them. Flamboyant comes to mind.
Even when they walk a statement is made.
And of course there was an oyster bed nearby.

Wonderful photos of this extraordinary bird, Ted! I can never get close enough to get a decent shot of them here before they take to the air and fly off.
Same problems here. Up north it was impossible, down here there are more oyster beds, so more birds. Oh yeah… much of our gear is made for this. That kinda helps 🙂
