Beautiful! Only ever seen the black ones.

I liked the shellduck, too. I really need to get out!

Black Oystercatchers (http://www.google.com/search?q=black+oystercatchers&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=rKX&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=oYqnTeThL8Hd0QGI6vThBA&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1067&bih=684) are confined to the west coast of this continent, apparently. I love them because you really, really can't miss that beak against the rocks!

Wow ... that lens ...

Feels like one could reach out ... and find what it tastes like!

We saw these all over Iceland but didn't know what they were called!

Yes, they're definitely in Iceland. Despite the name, I understand they live chiefly on mussels.
