    Hi Alfred, A little different take on a Skimmer, water skiing. I have only seen photos of them feeding. I like it.

    I was there last summer at tigertail and was fooled by the decoys. Did not see any nesting skimmers...only terns.

    let's hope we get a better year... this is a beautiful shot alfred.

    No skimmers Michael The year before they were there but it was a hike to the colony. Not sure why they keep moving down the beach.

    Very dramatic Al, love the colours, and the wings spread out. See why they are called skimmers. :)
