Black Skimmers


Now that's a big yawn!


Black Skimmers such as these are nesting within Gulf Islands National Seashore.

I just love that first photo. I've a few of them myself from my Sunday visit. They are really lovely birds.

While it was great to get these shots of nesting Black Skimmers, I'd really like a good shot of them feeding at twilight. They are so graceful the way they 'skim' the water's edge with the lower part of their bill in the water.
