Black Oystercatcher - Haematopus bachmani

The black oyster catcher is a shore bird, and it is often seen around here. The black oyster catcher is a black bird with an orange bill and faded orange feet.

The black oyster catchers are seen on reefs and on islets. Whenever they see a person, they start crying. Their cry sounds like a high pitched whistling sound. That is why some hunters do not like the black oyster catchers. Whenever the hunters go hunting for geese, the black oyster catchers cry when they see the hunters sneaking up towards the geese and thereby startle the geese into flight.

The black oyster catchers are present all year round. They lay eggs in the late spring. The nest is usually made on an island. The nest is made up of a pebble-lined hollow on the rocks or on the gravel. The black oyster catcher usually has three olive colored eggs with black spots on them. During spring, the men sometimes go out in boats and gather the black oyster catchers' eggs. The black oyster catcher eggs are about the size of a hen's egg. So they are gathered and eaten during the spring.
