The American Oystercatcher bird is found all along the Pacific coast and in some areas of the Atlantic Ocean. In the Galapagos, they are found in the intertidal zone of most islands. Their population isn’t big; around 400 birds live in the archipelago. Males and females are similar and they are usually seen in pairs. They breed mainly in the months of October to March. They can be seen patrolling the beach in search of food and they curiously approach tourists.
