American Oystercatcher
A distant record shot foraging in the mangroves. The yellow/red tip to the bill indicates an adult. They are more common along the Central Texas Coast, less so here on the Lower Texas Coast. Sometimes lumped with Black and Eurasian Oystercatchers, this is presumably the widespread nominate race.- jmorlan

Tagged American Oystercatcher, what does it mean?
Hi there! I recently found an American Oystercatcher at Honeymoon Island, Florida and after reviewing the photos I noticed it was tagged on both legs. Both legs had a red tag at the thigh with a "25" on it, and then on its left leg by the talon is a silver anklet with some inscription on it. I...- Oooopossum

American Oystercatcher
Extirpated from New Jersey by the beginning of the 20th century, these oystercatchers recolonized starting in the 1940's and are now locally fairly common again. In winter they sometimes form large flocks. Their distinctive bright red bills are used like a knife to shuck bivalves, but they also...- jmorlan

American Oystercatcher
This shot was taken from a Kayak, where I find it much less disturbing for the shore birds. I drift along slowly and in many cases the birds will walk right up to me. These Oystercatchers actually got too close for the lens I had on the boat.- Thomas P Brown
