A "Black Oystercatcher" flaps its wings, ridding itself of excess water and dander. The tide being out allowed the Black Oystercatcher with its long red beak to efficiently forage for mussels and limpets.
Black Oystercatchers are a year round resident of B.C. seashores. It is endemic to the west coast of North America, where it is widely distributed from Baja California to the western Aleutian Islands.
