Relocation

            Black Skimmers relocating along the shore line on a wind swept day.

From FWC:

Appearance:

The black skimmer is a seabird with defining physical characteristics that make it easily distinguishable from others.  The key physical feature of the skimmer is its large red and black bill.  The bill begins to widen at the top and gradually becomes smaller as it forms a sharp tip at the end of the bill.  The lower part of the bill is longer than the top, which is important because they use their bill to skim along the top of the water to catch fish, for which they are aptly named.  Skimmers can reach a height of 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) with a wingspan of 3 to 3.5 feet (.9-1.1 meters) (The Cornell Lab of Ornithology 2011, E. Sachs pers. comm. 2011).  Skimmers have a black back, black wings with white edging, and a white belly and head.
