\"BlackBlack Skimmers in flight – Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/640, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a quick post this morning of an image of a pair of Black Skimmers in flight over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n

I photographed these Black Skimmers at the north beach of Fort De Soto County Park<\/span><\/a> in Florida one cool January morning. Black Skimmers<\/span><\/a> are North America’s only skimmer species.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
