American Oystercatcher

I'm not usually a fan of overcast/flat lighting, but I decided to make the best of it on this afternoon. Without the sun to lend color, I tried to maximize contrast by shooting this adult on the crest of the beach and against the distant cloudy sky. i was happy with this simple and streamlined result.
