American Oyster-catcher [now American Oystercatcher]
Haematopus palliates, Temm. [now Haematopus palliatus]
Octavo edition, plate 324

“Shy, vigilant, and ever on the alert, the Oyster-catcher walks with a certain appearance of dignity, greatly enhanced by its handsome plumage and remarkable bill.”

John James Audubon, Birds of America (New York: J.J. Audubon; Philadelphia: J. B. Chevalier, 1840-1844), vol. 5, p. 237.
