Flock Leader
This image was taken in the summer time when I visited a local shore line to photograph Least Tern Chicks. Black Skimmers are very interesting birds, and there was a small flock at the beach. They were clearly engaged in some type of social behavior, which may have been some type of early courtship ritual. Anywho, there was this one Skimmer who would always stand away from the others. It appeared to me that he was the lookout or sentry for the group, ready to alert the others if danger was lurking. View large for best Black Skimmer experience.
The weather has turned beautiful and cool here in Philly and I am hoping that spurs on some bird activity.
It is the weekend! Get out and shoot!
