Subject: [MBBIRDS] Black Skimmer Photos (San Lorenzo River Mouth)
Hi birders,

Tuesday morning, Alex R. found and reported a BLACK SKIMMER on ebird, at
the San Lorenzo River Mouth. (Thanks Alex!). The bird remained present
off and on during the day.

The bird skimmed in a narrow band along the beach, from roughly the
river mouth to the wharf. It also posed multiple times in good light on
the beach. I took over 1300 images. After reviewing and editing some
1000 pictures, (only about 300 more to go), here are links to some of
the better hi-res photos, best enjoyed on a big screen imho:

For a full list of birds seen/heard and few more images, check the ebird
report at:

I'll probably end up adding a few more images tomorrow.

Fun birding, fun skimmer, fun photography,

Pete Solé
