Black
Oystercatcher - Haematopus bachmani
The
black oyster catcher is a shore bird, and it is often seen around
here. The black oyster catcher is a black bird with an orange bill
and faded orange feet.
The
black oyster catchers are seen on reefs and on islets. Whenever they
see a person, they start crying. Their cry sounds like a high pitched
whistling sound. That is why some hunters do not like the black
oyster catchers. Whenever the hunters go hunting for geese, the black
oyster catchers cry when they see the hunters sneaking up towards the
geese and thereby startle the geese into flight.
The
black oyster catchers are present all year round. They lay eggs in
the late spring. The nest is usually made on an island. The nest is
made up of a pebble-lined hollow on the rocks or on the gravel. The
black oyster catcher usually has three olive colored eggs with black
spots on them. During spring, the men sometimes go out in boats and
gather the black oyster catchers' eggs. The black oyster catcher eggs
are about the size of a hen's egg. So they are gathered and eaten
during the spring.
