Black Oystercatcher with Oyster - Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty, BC I have always wondered why this bird was named after the Oyster, yet here we are with a picture perfect moment of why. Oyster are not usually found along the shore and tide line unless there is a very low tide and that only happens infrequently. This is also a perfect example of how the oyster's beak works like a shucking knife penetrating the two half's and separating the muscle that holds everything together. This was taken along the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty on a low tide. Michael W Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com 2022
