This Black Oystercatcher Haematopus bachmani was photographed at the Oregon Coast Aquarium aviary in Newport, OR. - thus the band on its ankle. The American Oystercatcher, see www.ComingsBirds.com/Galapagos has a white breast and brown wings and back instead of all black. The remaining three photos were taken in the area of the Shelter Cove, CA except 8997 taken on Anacapa Island, CA.
