A hunter recently reported finding a dead American Oystercatcher (Dark Green (W1)) while duck hunting. Riding the tidal currents, it floated in among his decoys. His hunting experience lead him to believe the oystercatcher had been shot.

The American Oystercatcher Working Group has recently revised the Birds of North America species account of American Oystercatchers.  The BNA account is an in-depth look at American Oystercatchers, including their behavior and ecology.  It is now available at:  http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/082/articles/introduction
