Black Oystercatcher

We ended a second day on the Oregon coast south of Newport, finding a place in Suislaw National Forest to camp for the night. For us on a road trip, camping means finding a place to park our van for the night and lay out our sleeping pads and bags in the back of the van, and that is what we did at the end of a remote forest road. The next morning was foggy again and we visited some of the beaches along the coast, exploring the tide pools and doing some walking. This Black Oystercatcher was photographed at Holly Beach just south of Newport.
