This shot was taken near Rizal Park on Beacon Hill, overlooking downtown Seattle. This is pretty much how it looked, I bumped the saturation a bit...Nice night!

The African Black Oystercatcher is a resident breeder on the rocky coasts and islands of southern Africa. Sadly, there are currently less than 9,000 adult birds of this species, so it is highly endangered. However, it is easy to spot along the coasts of South Africa.

I was lucky to get so close to an adult couple and took quite a few shots of them in De Hoop Nature Reserve. This shot is my favourite. I simply love the contrast between the red of the bill and eye, the black of the plumage and the blue of the ocean.

Canon EOS 40D, Canon 70-200mm f/4, ISO 100, 1/800 sec., 200mm, f/6.3. Post-processing in Adobe Lightroom 2, finishing touches in Adobe Photoshop CS4.

I saw this while driving around the farmlands outside of Rochester, New York.

Happy Halloween to all from two rabbits, a chocolate cat, and one simple bat :)
