Ok. we've replaced seagulls with oystercatchers in the title above. Thanks!

I'm glad it's more accurate, but now I'm disappointed. The title has me picturing people in wetsuits with harpoons rising from the water and spearing drones out of the sky!

Right, not gulls at all. Also, "seagull" is not an ornithologically useful term.

Yeah I have heard lots of birders say that but its just a synonym for “gull”, I don’t see why its bad. They mostly live by the sea, seems fitting to me.

It's not a huge deal, but it misleading. Gulls are widespread over land.

Oystercatchers aren’t endangered, they are pretty common. You can find them on any beach on the east coast pretty much.
