Join me as I share the incredible story of American Oystercatchers (banded) "P4" & "EFR" as they raise a family on Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.In 2022, I was privileged to photograph and document the extraordinary story of two (now locally famous) American Oystercatchers (AMOY), who were banded BK(P/4) and G(EFR).I spent countless hours observing them in the spring when they first began mating rituals, when EFR laid eggs, and when the eggs hatched. I was there as their chicks grew through the dog days of summer, when their three beautiful chicks fledged, and finally, when they left for their migration south.I watched the adults’ loving interaction with each other, then the tender loving care with which they raised their young. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for which I am truly grateful.In the pages of this book, I will tell their incredible story. Through firsthand account and 240 beautiful photographs, I'll take you along with the hope that you will vicariously live out these special moments with me.Along the way, I will also share facts and important information about this incredible species.You will also learn of the efforts of the US Fish and Wildlife Services to ensure that Chincoteague NWR (AssateagueIsland, VA) continues to be a viable and sustainable safe harbor for migrating AMOY to raise healthy families.If reading their story and seeing these photographs brings you half the joy it brought me in taking them, you will have an amazing adventure as well!Thanks for coming along!Ken Read more
