Going to Little Talbot Island has been a godsend since the pandemic. We live 23 miles from this pristine Florida State Park. The state park system is running at 50 percent capacity and recently started closing the park at 5pm to cut down on payroll with the economic crisis. On this day, Black Skimmers were going up and down the shoreline scooping up any small fish within their grasp.

Black skimmers are a favorite of mine, their aspect is so different from perched on shore to skimming the surf.
I love them too. I love how they scoop to feed. Once we started back down the beach, they came flying up behind us. Flying fast and not altering their path. I missed the shot every time. 😊
great capture! 🙂
Thank you! It was a great day of them going back & forth. I only had to sit in my chair watching the show. 🤗
Fantastic shot 😃
Thank you! It was quite awesome watching them. I’m easily entertained. 🙂
Ho amazing to get to see that..
Yes it certainly was! 🙂
beautiful bird in a beautiful setting – great shot, Lisa!
Thank you Jim. It was an incredible day watching them go up and down the beach. 🙂
that does sound like a nice way to spend the day…
I’m ready to go to the beach again. Need to get out but the weather is not cooperating. I’m due for another incredible day. 😊
here’s hoping you get to the beach soon!
Maybe Sunday! Weather is not cooperating. 🙂
the beach will be there when you are ready… 🙂
Oh I’m ready! 😂
Very cool photo. I’m glad you have such a wonderful oasis nearby.
Best,
Tanja
Me too Tanja. We have a diverse ecosystem here and brings so many different birds. Plus Jacksonville is smack in the middle of the eastern US migration route. 🙂
Lucky you! 🙂
My kind of shoreline!💦🐋
Yep! I’m ready to get back out there. Maybe Sunday! Fingers crossed! 🙂
How exciting!💦🐋
Storms are coming early today, so who knows. My dog is 13 1/2 & she is getting really bad with thunder so we have to plan our days with the weather. It’s always, “will have to see” daily. 🙂
Water is a friend. Lightening and thunder are unfriendly tones of nature, cover them with calming music and activities. No matter what you can weather the storm.💦🐋💦
Yes thank you. I would rather be out photographing the weather, but taking care of my little baby is more important. 🥰
