Happy Valentine's Day! (Explore 2/15/2021)
Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day from a Black Skimmer pair photographed a few summers ago. Prior to mating, I have seen a couple of different behaviors. The male will deliver a fish for the female as a gift and she will acquiesce. On this day, no physical gift was exchanged. Instead, they crossed bills back and forth multiple times, then the female turned around and the mating began. Enjoy your day, however you celebrate! #ShareTheShore
