American Oystercatchers at Stratford Point

I was happy to see a pair of American Oystercatchers at Stratford Point today. They were feeding and hanging out in the intertidal zone. Oystercatchers are one of the target species in the Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds, and they are beginning to nest across Connecticut's islands and beaches.



While these birds may have arrived recently and are trying to settle in, there are always non-breeding pairs as well. And that glance at the sky...I love when birds go bird watching themselves.
