Since discovering our first Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach in July 2000 we have observed the breeding of these local shorebirds along the coast between Gantheaume Point in the south and Willie Creek in the north, which is a distance of 23 kilometres.

They are not bound to wetlands the entire year and large groups of birds will disperse to dry grassland and savanna outside of the breeding season. This is worrying because paired birds generally only lay one egg and the breeding cycle can be very irregular. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8-lZzV0Wck v=w8-lZzV0Wck a.

These birds have lost more than half their global population, and the 33 species combined have lost hundreds of millions of breeding individuals in just the past 40 years. You can find more information on the State of the Birds on their website [link]. But it’s fun trying to figure it out by observing their behavior.

On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird has approximately 900 feathers; a Tundra Swan, 200-300,000.

The length of each bird species account varies, depending on whether the bird is native or a “visitor” (the book’s term for migrant) or vagrant, breeding or non breeding. They breed in dense colonies, incubate their single egg on the feet, and take more than a year to fledge a chick.
