Black Skimmer Skimming At Brigantine

A series of images of a Black Skimmer feeding as it was skimming through the water in one of the channels along the Wildlife Drive at the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Brigantine Division. It seems like it also had a damaged feather on one wing. All images were taken with a Canon 1D mkIV with a 400mm DO lens & 1.4X Teleconverter.

Black Skimmer Misses A Meal

We were photographing Black Skimmers at the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. This one was working an area, going back and forth, but did not seem to have much luck catching a meal.
