- Comments: "Continuing fun find by Allison Webenbauer on 5/25. Understand it's possibly a hybrid, nevertheless a cool bird. This morning initially spotted on reef directly out from main trail by Kevin G. When I arrived took a bit to relocate as only black oystercatchers were visible. Found again on reef slightly north, sitting but white underbelly visible. Soon stood, often on one leg, pinkish legs, bright reddish bill. Then it, along with black oystercatchers, flew to beach among the gulls."
