In an effort to support one of California's great marine birds, Audubon California for the last several years has been partnering with Audubon chapters and volunteers to track Black Oystercatcher nesting up and down the coast. Golden Gate Audubon member Jane Turner Hart has been one of the project's most dedicated volunteers and recently shared her observations and photos on the chapter's website. It's an amazing overview of one season in the life of these amazing birds. Check it out. The images are beautiful, and you'll learn a lot.
