Robert:

   Thanks for sharing your photos.  BTW, what is the resolution of your
camera?
I found your declaration over the photos on pages 3 (on your website)
interesting ... you asked us to notice the length of the bill and the legs.
Since their length is similar, I wonder if this has anything to do with the
bird's feeding habits ... i.e. this configuration may allow the
oystercatcher to achieve maximum leverage when open clams, etc.?   Just a
thought.
Cheers, Jim
