Mile 24 - Cave Rock, Hunters Island, Hunters Cove - June 8, 2011

Report Details

A Pair of Oystercatchers were in the edge of the surf at Indian Head Rock, just north of Myers Creek. The first, and only, time I have seen such birds on this mile. They seemed exhausted. They noted the dog and then relaxed and one squatted on the sand and after a minute or so the other squatted in the wet sand and they remained like that as the dog moved past them. I see that 4 of these birds were spotted for the first time just south of Meyers Creek.
