This bird was skimming right toward me when I shot these.

It was lucky too since I had a very small opening in the tall grass to shoot anything.

The Skimmer made the typical surface trail and above might have captured a small fish.

He had to pull up and away since he was about to be in the reeds with me. They can turn in a flash.


One second it looks like a crash, the next it’s a perfect 90 degree turn.
