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

I like that "young of the year" and maybe the one after it even more.....where the adult is looking at you.

Another spectacle of nature from Nickerson Beach ..... by Morris.

Hope to see the Oystercatchers and Sandpipers you mentioned.

Great shots and processing as usual.

I like the water on number 5. Almost as if it was shot with a slow shutter.

I like #7 comp.

Like I said, Morris -- You are the 'Skimmer King'! As always these are super -- I love #7, the close up looking at you.

Morris,

How nice to have Black Skimmers close by.

I really, really love how your framing of the bird and the flow of the water compliment each other.

Cheers,

George

This is a beautiful series Morris... so many nice flight shots.
I really like the pans that smooth out the ocean under a sharp skimmer.
