Description
A black oystercatcher plucks a clam from the rocky shoreline of the beach close to Little Qualicum River near Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I have yet to see an oystercatcher "catch" an oyster but I've seen them claim many clams at low tide. This distinctive bird with its brilliant orange beak and bright yellow eyes is often seen with a small gathering of like-minded shorebirds combing the beach for tasty seafood at low tide.
