Filed Under Skimmers, Summer 2009
Black Skimmers are a delight to watch as they work for food. They soar and skim the water’s surface with their mandible hoping a fish falls in. These two worked a local pond last night.
Looking back at some photos I took last week I saw this skimmer and decided to add it to the collection.
Black Skimmers were all over a coastal pond tonight as the sun set. With no wind blowing the water surface was like a mirror
I found the Black Skimmers again this morning, loafing on a sand bar. It is rare to be able to get so close to them and I am happy to share some of the close pictures I have been able to get. Here are two more.
I have never been so close to Black Skimmers as I ws this evening. They have beautiful markings and a very distinctive call. I took a lot of photos tonight and I may find better as I cull through all that I shot. I wanted to put a few up tonight. I will go back to this marsh at sunrise tomorrow to see what else may be there.
