American Oystercatcher Calls

American Oystercatchers were nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century for their plumage and eggs, but populations recovered well after passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918.

However, the North American population is included on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List, and several states consider it a species of concern.
