In Chile in February, we saw American and Blackish Oystercatchers. The Black Oystercatcher which is resident in the Pacific Northwest is very similar to the Blackish Oystercatcher which has a thicker bill.

Great shot of the Black Oystercatcher! Thanks also for the comparison to the Blackish – I wasn’t aware of the bill difference.
