First time photographed Black Skimmers at Meadowlands Center. Did hear about their sporadic presence last year, but I wasn't lucky to see them till last Friday.
Two skimmers decided to have dinner and did incredible show flying all over marsh.
Not greatest light, but I was so excited to finally see them in action, that I pretty much didn't care for it :oops:
C&C welcome.
