Description
"Black Skimmers Landing on the Beach at Sunrise, Florida" by Catherine Sherman.
Black skimmers join other black skimmers, royal terns and gulls at the edge of the surf on Cape Canaveral Beach, Florida, at sunrise.
The Black Skimmer is known for its skimming habit, furrowing the water with lower mandible, the upper mandible snapping down immediately when contact is made with a fish. The black skimmer finds food by touch, not by sight; often forages in late evening or at night, when waters may be calmer and more fish may be close to surface.
