It get very busy in the wetlands and I can go on and on with images like this one but maybe when things really slow down it will happen.
A little barn swallow family. The first time I've seen that they feed their youngsters in flight. Amazing flying artists...

This is the companion photo of a man feeding the gulls at Cosmeston Lake which did so well when I posted it a couple of months back.
Parents, literally, dropping in food...shortly before dive-bombing me to get my lens out of their private business...swallows in Erdek, Turkey.

The black skimmer was photographed resting on a sandbar along the Cuiaba River. There were about six of them there when this image was taken. Within minutes more skimmers were circling above getting ready to land.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
Skimmers have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They feed usually in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water (in order of importance) for small fish, insects, crustaceans and molluscs caught by touch by day or especially at night.
The black skimmer breeds in loose groups on sandbanks and sandy beaches in the Americas, the three to seven heavily dark-blotched buff or bluish eggs being incubated by both the male and female. The chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch and lie inconspicuously in the nest depression or "scrape" where they are shaded from high temperatures by the parents. They may dig their own depressions in the sand at times. Parents feed the young almost exclusively during the day with almost no feeding occurring at night, due to the entire population of adults sometimes departing the colony to forage.

Male hummingbirds never provide care for the family. They just go their ways after mating... :))
There were a lot of birds flying around here , but they were very skittish and no sooner they landed on a branch they flew off ! From no where a elderly gentleman came and filled the feeders with bird seed . He told us that he did this every day . Maybe the birds knew he was on his way . Hence the shot of the robin and many others that came to feed !
