While I was shooting loons from the beach at Semiahmoo last Friday, a pair of oystercatchers flew in and proceeded to chow down on some of the many clams that were "squirting" on the beach. They seem very adept at digging up the molluscs, and showed how well their beaks are adapted for prying open the shells...

Apparently they aren't too fussy, Rocky....Nice shots - must have been evening or early morning light.
