American Oystercatchers

July 30, 2008

Oystercatchers are on my list of favorite shorebirds. I find I really like the combination of black, white and orange/pink found in oystercatchers, skimmers and stilts. I find myself lingering at a site if any these birds are present. These oystercatchers were found recently on a sandy quiet-water beach and mud flat shortly after sunrise.
