Besides being a beautiful bird they are an important ‘bell weather’ for coastal waters. Spotting them means the local environment is healthy. Good news for the Lowcountry since they are plentiful, and breed here.
Coastal South Carolina.
Oyster Catcher
Yes, it’s a very beautiful bird that I have never seen in real life.
You are so lucky to photograph Oyster Catcher.
stunning colors for sure. Another thing about them… when they fly fast their wings make a high pitched whistle 😁
Interesting 🙂
