On our final two whale watch trips of the season on Sept 14 and 15(with
no resident Orcas since they were out by Tatoosh), there were 20 or more
Black Oystercatchers grouped close together on the eastern point of
Stuart Island right across the pass from John's Island. Having seen
them all summer in groups of 2-6 or often single birds, this seemed
unusual. Is it?
