Black Skimmers
All of these photos were taken at St. Pete Beach in Florida. Every year at the end of June and the beginning of July, the Skimmers nest on the beach. The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish. Strictly coastal in most areas of North America, Black Skimmers are often seen resting on sandbars and beaches.
