Black Oystercatcher Closeup ~ This oystercatcher was photograped along the lagoon near The Rock in Morro Bay.
Black Oystercatcher ~ Most of the Black Oystercatchers I saw this week in the Morro Bay area were off in the distance. I was happy to see this one right by the shore where I was shooting the Sea Otters. His orange bill was discolored from digging around in the mud for yummy treats left as the tide went out.
Black Turnstone ~ This bird was one of several turnstones on the rocks by the surf in Morro Bay, California. He is in his winter plumage, which is lighter than his breeding attire.
