The Black Skimmer is another of those birds that keep photographers humble. They are fast, agile, and unpredictable.

When shooting Skimmers I make sure to have my best wildlife gear ready. Yes, a good photographer will get images of fishing Skimmers. But the number of decent photos, well not that many.

If I have worked to get out there with them I would like all the help I can get.
