Young Black Skimmer bank shot
There have been quite a few of these at my local spot lately, and the muted afternoon light the last two days has facilitated
their exposure.
This is a young bird as evidenced by the browner plumage. You can see the adult black starting to molt in on the back.
The bottom part of the frame is sun-drenched hills on the other side of the bay; the top is sky.
Yeah, the left wing is really close to the frame edge, but I decided to leave it as rather than adding any space above.
I love how long their wings are!
