My wife Eileen and I did a noon-hour bird of Orient State Park today, Sunday, and to our pleasure and surprise found a male-female pair of American Oystercatchers fishing in the surf. They were on the south side of the access road, ranging 100~400 yards east of the ranger station. We have never before seen this species in the State Park.
We also watched a male-female pair of Greater Scaup in "Little Bay", on the north side of the road, about a quarter-mile west of the park entrance.
