Observed young Black Oystercatcher and parent on the rocks near the whale watching platform.
Report Details
Observed young Black Oystercatcher and parent on the rocks near the whale watching platform. We took part in a Black Oystercatcher study this past spring to see if a nesting spot could be located. While we were not able identify where two pair of oystercatchers were nesting in our area, we were glad to see a young and what we presumed was the parent on the rock near the whale watching platform.
