p.1 #1 · Mating Black Skimmers

I posted one image previously. Here are 12 consecutive shots of the skimmer mating sequence. It all starts with a little fish..... The male presents a fish to the female and then mating usually begins immediately.

Great stuff. The fish in the mouth reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George Costanza is eating a sandwich while doing the same thing.

Excellent work Herb. I chuckled at the female nonchalantly continuing to eat while the guy does his stuff
