September 14th, 2012 – Avian Friday: Black Skimmer

Well it’s Friday again and I wasn’t successful in getting my pre-order in for the new iPhone 5. Oh well, guess I’ll have to wait in line with everyone else next week :).
This week is a shot of my favorite birds, the Black Skimmer. I missed getting down to SoCal to photograph these guys again this year but I still have a few frames hiding out in the archives.
