american oystercatchers

American Oystercatchers are easily identifiable by their long, vivid red-orange bill and yellow eyes, but did you know they got their name by their preferred main food source? So, consider not dining on shellfish, such as clams, oysters, and other saltwater mollusks. By doing so, you will be helping to preserve the lives of these precious birds who live on a very selective diet.

American Oystercatchers are currently on the Partners in Flight’s Yellow Watch List
