Abstract
    The preferences of Haematopus moquini and Larus dominicanus for different size classes of the sand-burrowing bivalve Donax serra were examined. Gulls took only large clams, regardless of the avaiilability of the different size classes, a preference ascribed to the high energy expenditure required for gulls to open clam shells. Oystercatchers, which open bivalve shells relatively easily, took both small and large clams, even when large clams were abundant.
