We had cold front move in last night and I got to Nickerson Beach about 30 minutes after it passed at about 8am. It reminded me of my winter visits as it was me, a fisherman and the Nassau County Police patrolling the beach in there SUV. The birds had move out of the roped off nesting area and were in a few family groupings on the same near the water. I took my time moving in till I was almost inside one of the larger family groupings of a few hundred skimmers. I spend a few hours in this position and for some reason after all this time; this skimmer decided it was going to chase me off by buzzing me. This photo was taken during one of it’s attack runs and is the only image I’ve processed so far. Many more will follow.
