Diet
The American oystercatcher uses its long bill to pry open mussels, oysters and other bivalves. It also eats barnacles, starfish, crabs and jellyfish. It forages in shallow water by sticking its bill in the mud and probing for food.
Life Cycle
The female oystercatcher lays two to four eggs in a shallow depression lined with pieces of shell.
Behavior
Oystercatchers don't live in colonies, but they do gather in large groups before migrating.
