Went to photograph Least Terns and came across a nesting area of Black Skimmers in the process. They were quick to let me know I was too close!

Cool photos!! I came upon a HUGE flock of them off Amelia Island on the northeast edge of Florida a few months ago. They are the weirdest birds. They were with some gulls and sandpipers. I loved them. Had never seen them before. Got some pics.
