An American Oystercatcher foraging

An American Oystercatcher looks for prey in tide pools. These birds are rarely found outside of their coastal habitats and feed almost exclusively on shellfish and other marine invertebrates including mussels and clams of many varieties, limpets, oysters, sea urchins, starfish, crabs, and worms.
