Oystercatcher Territory Dispute

It was quite hilarious watching a pair of American Oystercatchers interact with another individual that flew in and landed with them. For a solid 5 minutes they called and danced around and did all the goofy oystercatcher behaviors. Makes me laugh every time I see it and it was nice to be able to photograph it against the cloudy sky on the jetty.
