If this is your first time finding a Letterbox Hybrid geocache, bring a stamp that is meaningful to you. For example, I always have a corn-on-the-cob stamp with me when I am finding Letterbox Hybrid geocaches as I am MamaCobb. You will also need to bring a notebook with you to stamp using the stamp in the cache. I prefer pocket notebooks as they are easier to carry when geocaching.
*** Note: This cache is too small for an ink pad, so bring your own ink pad ***
The Black Oystercatcher is a conspicuous member of rocky intertidal communities along the west coast of North America. It is accidential in Texas. Completely dependent on marine shorelines for its food and nesting, this is a monogamous, long-lived bird. Breeding pairs establish well-defined, composite feeding and nesting territories and generally occupy the same territory year after year, often along low-sloping gravel or rocky shorelines where intertidal prey are abundant. Pairs nest just above the high-tide line and use the intertidal zone to feed themselves and provision their chicks. Diets of adults and chicks consist mainly of molluscs; principally mussels and limpets. Parental feeding of offspring extends well after chicks develop independent flight.
