A nesting colony of Black skimmers, what a fantastic place to hang out shooting! 1000's of birds, flights almost none stop, great practice and superb weather!

I normally do not shoot against blue skies, so here I had not a lot of choice! With the light fading during the late afternoon, we had to shoot while we had the opportunity.

Can't wait to go back!
