Black Oystercatcher

Haematopus bachmani

Least Concern

The Black Oystercatcher is a shorebird of the northeastern Pacific coast of North America. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
