the american oystercatcher is a large shorebird found in north & south america. oystercatchers’ most common way of feeding is to locate a partially opened mollusk and jab in their beak, severing the muscle that clamps the mollusk shut, then eating the mollusk. as their name implies, they enjoy shellfish such as oysters and mussels, but they will also feed on starfish and other sea creatures.
