Earlier quote
Female Black Oystercatchers can be identified by prominent, dark, irregular "eye flecks" or pigment spots in their yellow irises, often making the pupil appear larger, irregular, or connected to black spots. These flecks are a reliable, ~94% accurate field method to distinguish females (who have prominent flecks) from males (who have minimal or no spots).
Nice shot and interesting info, Tony.
If I hang around here long enough, I may learn something.
