The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus bachmani) is a distinguishable seabird with black plumage and orange-reddish facial features. Residing along rocky shores, the Black Oystercatcher's habitat stretches from the islands of Alaska to the peninsula of Baja California. Black Oystercatchers rarely stray far from shore as they tend to favor shorelines; their presence as a species can reflect the ecological health of the habitat, as they are a keystone species. Alongside this, the Black Oystercatcher primarily forages for food within the intertidal zone, eating mollusks and crustaceans.

Due to close foraging on shorelines, Black Oystercatchers fly upwards in order to avoid incoming surf. While only laying around two to three eggs at a time, mating Black Oystercatcher pairs will nest at a higher shore elevation to prevent nests from being flooded by crashing waves and from being easily accessible to potential predators.

[ID: The first slide shows a close-up of a black oystercatcher's head. It is a black bird with a long, bright orange bill that is squared off at the tip. It also has an orange ring around its eye. The second slide shows another oystercatcher wading in the water. Its feathers are ruffled like its shaking off water. End ID]

“What is acted out on the female body parallels the larger practices of domination, fragmentation, and conquest against the earth body, which is being polluted, strip-mined, deforested, and cut up into parcels of private property. Equally, this pattern points to the fragmentation of the psyche, which ultimately underlies and enables all of this damage.”
— Jane Caputi

California's Climate Plan Misses the Mark?

On this week’s EcoNews Report, Gang Green talks with Professor Dan Kammen of UC Berkeley and Gary Hughes of Biofuelwatch to investigate how the state of California intends to meet its climate targets and whether its plan is sufficient.

Spoiler alert: it’s not.
