Yesterday we were at South Padre Island. We saw a mix of birds, not a great day, but hell, it was sunny and we were on the water watching birds. And then a pair of Oystercatchers showed up! People gasped, "Oh, aren't the colors wonderful? Aren't they beautiful?" To which I reply, "Naw, they're ugly, goofy, and awkward looking. They look like they were designed by two grade school kids with only three Crayolas left in the box ...
And they're positively wonderful to behold!"

That was a real treat seeing those birds walk past us and putting on a show. Great photos.
It was a treat. So often they are birds we see way out on the water on a mud clump islet. Or more often, not at all. They must have been drunk.
This was a real treat!
