Re: Black Skimmer at rest
thanks for looking guys
He was one of a number of them together on the beach and quite comical to watch as he went down on one knee then the other before finally flopping. I don't think it was anything to worry about, a similar resting pose that ducks do out of water and when the rest of the flock decided to leave, he went with them

Re: Black Skimmer at rest
Nice shot Stan. I saw a lot of them do this when I was there. I think the heat just gets to them. It was very hot. Record temperatures for the time of year.Comment
