p.1 #1 · WhitePoint Oystercatchers

I finally went to White Point yesterday in search of the Black Oystercatchers and I was not disappointed

. I've been searching for this bird for quite some time and here are the results...

#1
In-Flight

#6
And a surfbird

Thanks for looking and there are still more to come

Great series.. Beautiful flight shot. #5 with a drop of water at the tip of the bill is super too.

Thanks Roger. These birds are new to me as well

Ever since Johnny Bravo posted pictures of Black Oystercatchers so long ago, I have really been itching to find this bird.

I like the first two shots best. This appears to be a young bird, since his bill has not yet changed to completely orange.

Thanks Laura. He certainly is an interesting looking creature. His eyes are the coolest looking of almost every bird. The Black Oystercatcher is just so unique.

Thanks Lil, I think the water drops added the "cool" effect. Thanks again for the nice comment

Thanks Tony. He probably was young, he let me get pretty dang close to him so I guess the young naievity had something to do with him

. Thanks a lot.
