    Seeing Mr. Morris's image with the gull and skimmer prompted me to post this. Observing nesting skimmer behavior yields an abundance of interesting interactions between chicks, adults and predatory gulls. IQ isnt good enough for critique in Avian which is why I'm sharing it here.

    Hi Mike- I'm assuming we are looking at a skimmer taking another skimmer or tern chick for food?

    Skimmer chick, John. They were taking them from adjacent nests and dropping them in the surf.
