The Skimmer Bird Part 2

After one more day of practice, I think I got some better skimmer bird photos. I got what I wanted, but I still would like to get a picture with my camera more level with the water, but that’s a whole nother thing. That will have to wait for our next trip to Florida, hopefully the skimmer birds are still there.

No matter which way the bird’s body turns, its head stays level to the water.  

I’m not sure how he decides where to skim, but he is trying to figure it out here.  

The skim leaves a beautiful curve in the water.  

Here he is after finishing skimming, raising up and getting ready to move on. I love this shot.
