Wild Delmarva

This has to be a hard way to make a living. Black Skimmers drag their lower, knife-thin bill across the water trying to catch small fish, insects or crustaceans. Their unusual proportions and smooth, graceful flight make them one of my favorite birds to photograph and watch. Two Snowy Egrets, who prefer to wade and catch fish, are in the background.
