American Black Oystercatcher

The Oystercatcher is a bit of a goofy bird.  It starts with them being black with pink legs, an orange bill, and bright orange eyes.  They forage on the shore in groups that randomly leap into the air and start squawking loudly.  Then they fly in a large circle and settle back where they were.  This joyous action continues from dawn to dusk.
