Two mornings in a row I’ve encountered a couple of Oyster Cathers on an oyster bank at the entrance to Deep Creek. At least one of the birds was differnet from one day to the next. I could tell by the tags on one bird’s legs. These are definately one of my favorite birds to see. I think it’s the bright colored eyes and bills that make the attractive to me.
