Black Oystercatcher - Crescent Beach, BC

A well won prize found and sushi-ed. I quick probe in the sand and gravel and the clam is found. The beak is pushed into the smallest of gaps like a shucking knife. A twist and a turn to let loose the reward for some underground surgery and Viola.......Lunch!. This is not as easy as it sounds however as the bivalves are only accessible like this once, maybe twice a day.
