Description
Water pours off the back of an American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus), immediately after it has pulled up a fresh catch after prying open its shell in West Bay, near Galveston, Texas. According to www.allaboutbirds.org, American Oystercatchers use their long, bladelike, orange bills to catch shellfish unawares, seizing them before they can close up. frequently walk or run rather than flying. They walk across shellfish beds and when they encounter one that is partially open, they jab their bill into the shell and sever the strong muscle that clamps the shells shut.
