    Black Skimmers

    I was at my local state park (again,) standing with a group of tourists, had already stated that I was a local, and was asked, "What do you call those birds with the weird beaks?"

    "Skimmers."

    "Why?"

    At that very instant they swooped down and showed us why. I laughed and said, "Any more questions?"



    This image shows the huge underbite they have, which they use to skim the water.


    Caught a gator in this one, I didn't even know he was out there until I got the pics onto the computer.
