Description
Fron the Audubon Field Guide: "Where the Pacific Ocean breaks against rocky shorelines, pairs of these big black birds stalk about on the rocks and nearby flats. If disturbed, they take flight with loud, ringing whistles, easily heard above the sound of the waves. Their range stretches from Alaska to Baja, but Black Oyster Catchers are scarce along the coast of southern California, where the shoreline is mostly sandy, not rocky.
