Hi birders,
First, big thanks to Matthew Coale for his reports of the 4 BLACK
SKIMMERS at the San Lorenzo River mouth spit.
I got to the beach around 10:15am. Was able to repeatedly observe and
photograph these fun birds. Below are some of the better photos of the
600+ that I captured. (Warning: very large images):
If you have a strong favorite, I'd be curious to know which one. After
looking at 600 plus images and processing some 20+, my eyes and mind are
mush. 🙂
Although dogs and beach goers caused the birds to flush, the skimmers
repeatedly returned to the spit along with a bunch of gulls.
