Our first Pied Oystercatcher eggs for this year’s breeding season were laid early and were due to hatch last weekend. This pair of Pied Oystercatchers never seems to have a problem with incubating their eggs. They take it in turns over the twenty eight days sitting or hovering over the eggs. Pied Oystercatcher egg.

The fully fledged Pied Oystercatcher chick is the bird on the right. There are still newly laid clutches of Pied Oystercatcher eggs on the northern section of Cable Beach , so there is hope still of more survivals. They moved around a bit to get comfortable on the rocky outcrop. Pied Oystercatcher family at roost.

Following on from the sad loss of our first Pied Oystercatcher chick of 2020 the other eggs are now also hatching. Somehow the twenty eight days passed without the eggs being run over. Pied Oystercatchers always try and move away from the nest site as soon as possible once both eggs are hatched. Pied Oystercatcher family.

I’m not sure what they think of 2020’s low water levels, but they looked happy! Birding on Lake Cuitzeo is a real challenge right now, because what little water has gathered in the center of the lake is surrounded by extensive mud flats. That’s a lot of Northern Shovelers. I came south early, just to pose for you.

It does seem like the order is concurrent with the 61st Supplement, which came out in 2020, but Northwestern Crow is included as a full species. A small range map is placed in the upper right/left hand corner showing summer, winter, resident, migration, and rare locations. There are advantages to a large book!

Species Accounts are organized by family according to the 61st Supplement (2020) of the AOS Checklist of North and Middle American Birds (the 62nd Supplement came out while the book was in production, which is to be expected).
