Black Oystercatcher — size comparison — facts and sources
The black oystercatcher inhabits North America’s rocky Pacific shores. It feeds in the intertidal zone, opening shells or detaching prey from rocks. Pairs use nearby shores for breeding.
It eats bivalves and other marine invertebrates. Feeding follows tides: retreating water exposes rocks and animals inaccessible at high tide.
