Share the Shore Oystercatcher Button

A tiny tribute to one of the Pacific Northwest coast’s most beloved shorebirds.

Featuring the striking black oystercatcher — instantly recognizable by its bright orange beak and unmistakable seaside personality — this illustrated button is a cheerful little nod to tide pools, rocky coastlines, and slow days near the water.

Small enough to pin onto jackets, tote bags, hats, backpacks, pencil pouches, and everyday gear, it adds just the right amount of coastal-naturalist charm without taking itself too seriously.

Whether you’re a dedicated birder, beach wanderer, Pacific Northwest local, or simply someone who appreciates delightfully specific wildlife, this little pin makes an easy gift and a fun everyday companion.

Why We Love It

We’re endlessly fond of shorebirds around here, and the black oystercatcher feels especially iconic — a little dramatic, a little loud, and perfectly at home along rugged coastlines. This one feels playful, outdoorsy, and wonderfully West Coast.

About the Maker

Hissing Mink creates colorful, quirky paper goods and small home treasures inspired by the flora, fauna, folklore, and ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. Designed, made, and packaged on Mayne Island in British Columbia, their work blends naturalist curiosity with playful storytelling — somewhere between a field guide, a folklore collection, and a cozy little curiosity shop.

We especially love how their pieces celebrate the wild details often overlooked: wetlands, shorebirds, cryptids, native plants, tide pools, and woodland creatures alike.
