A great set Morris. I don't think I got quite that close to the chicks when we were there ~ Ron

Morris, It's great to see the Skimmer chicks, here they nest on a
small spit of sand surrounded by water in a protected area very far from
the cameras spying eyes.

Wonderful set, Morris. So interesting to see what they start out looking like and what they evolve into. Mature skimmers are very graceful from the pictures I've seen here, while the chicks look so awkward.

The last image is by far the strongest here. Birds IF flying away from the camera do nothing for me.

Thank you Tim,
It is a delight to be able to get very close at Nickerson as we can witness behaviour in the nesting area, the subject of my next post.

Thank you Gero,
Yes it is fascinating to watch bird chicks grow as they frequently start out looking nothing like the adults.

Thank you Don,
I think that is more about bridging than art and I'm more of an artist than a birder though I do love birds.

I really like these Morris. The light and the colours in 5 along with the interaction going on make it my favourite and I am quite fond of #3 also.
