Congratulations to pair 02 on a successful hatch in the park yesterday.
While they aren’t banded, I’m pretty sure, based on their very specific nesting site choices, that this pair was with us last year too, and were original settlers of the Clearcut. This is their first successful hatch.
They are very sweet, patient, and tolerant as far as oystercatchers go. I believe they are going to be great parents.
Enjoy the video above of clips from their very precious hatch.
So sweet…
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks!
They really are!
Oh my, that video was amazing. Thank you.

What beautiful, attentive parents and adorable chicks!! We are so lucky to have these lovely birds in NJ!!
Yes we are. You know better than anyone Barb!
Thank you for all you do & keep us informed. , Really enjoy reading your stories !
I’m really happy to hear that. Thank you.
Nature at its best! The babies are so adorable.
Oystercatchers are surprisingly sweet, huh?
Hooray! May all go well with this oystercatcher family.
They lost one not long after this video, but continue to do a great job with the remaining chick. High hopes they will fledge it.
