| An American oystercatcher (*Haematopus palliatus*) is captured in mid-flight over a sandy beach in Galveston, Texas. The bird displays its distinctive black head and back, white underparts, and long, bright orange beak. Its wings are outstretched, revealing the contrasting patterns of black and white feathers. The shoreline is visible, with small shells scattered across the sand and the sea's edge gently meeting the beach in the background. |
