My first skimmer...It was really cool watching them skimming accross the water to catch some food! I only got this one in flight! Hopefully, I will catch them with a fish next time...(I wish):D

Nice shot. Once a rare bird in So California, they are now becoming established.

what a great shot. I love the framing/composition, he just fills the shot perfectly. And the all water background really makes him come alive.

Ben,

This is an awesome shot. Sharp, nice spread on the wings, and great details on the feathers. Well done.

Thank you Gary, Howzitboy, and Hung for the encourage comments. Howzitboy, I don't mind at all...if your blue makes you happy...so be it! Hope you're enjoying the capture as much as I am. And, sometimes, I have to feel the Blues...:)
