This delightful spotting could go in the Hunter and Feeding Behavior mission.

Is very nice to see these colonies. And I had never seen before how the babies look like.

ceherzog, the black skimmers nest right on the beach outside of the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. The nesting area is roped off. Start checking around late June early July.
