These photos are from Nickerson Beach on a foggy day about a month ago. I'm going to try and get to the beach again before the oystercatchers head south as I love to photograph them and also the large flocks of sandpipers. For now, here are some black skimmer images. The gray one is young and born this spring.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
Morris
