p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A few black skimmers


These are from late September on Nickerson Beach. These slices of the colony give you an idea of just how many birds are out there and I think are more impressive than a wide angle photo which shows them all.

The last is my pick here Morris out of this wonderful set. The first three appear to be blurry butt shots

I like #1 because of the orange evenly intermixed with the black and white and set off by the blue background.

I'm sure our local Skimmers congregate somewhere similar to what your images show Morris, but I've never seen more than a few Skimmers together.
Cool perspectives as always, #1 is my favorite.

Not your most aesthetic work, morris, but it's an interesting documentary set. #1 for me. -Mike

Your definition of a few is quite a bit different than mine. Don't tell anyone you've got a few bucks in your pocket....you might have to fend off a few people

1 and 4 for me Morris. I'd crop 1 just enough to get rid of that distracting wing in the right corner.
