BLACK OYSTERCATCHERS fishing along the shore of the Salish sea this morning. Despite their name, they seldom eat oysters, preferring limpets and mussels.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the entire world population of black oystercatchers is estimated at about 11,000 birds — more than 50 percent of that population lives in Alaska.
