These shorebirds call Central and North America home, but can also been seen in parts of South America, and the Galapagos Islands.

They’re famous for their ability to pry open mollusks with their long, heavy and powerful beaks.

This American Oystercatcher was spotted taking a nap at Punta Suarez on Espanola Island in the Galapagos Islands.
