Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger)

I don't believe I've ever seen one not flying. This guy was sitting on the sidewalk as I drove in. I was hopeful for some skimming shots but I never saw him again. At Huntington Beach State Park, SC

How lovely to get one so close though Bob... trust he was OK.

That's a super picture lad - very well done my friend.

A stunning portrait of this extraordinary bird, Robert! I've never seen a picture of one on the ground before.
