The Skimmer was reported a couple of days ago, and I looked for it yesterday without luck. One bird out of thousands on the beach.

Today, I spotted a birdwatcher (Annie) in the right area, and she pointed it out to me. I hadn’t seen one since I lived in Florida in the fifties.

Several other gulls and a nice sunrise made for a good morning, and I finished just in time to beat the rain.

Sunrise at Sandy Point.

This is a Greater Blackbacked Gull, the world’s largest gull.

Two Caspian Terns were mixed in with the large flock of gulls.

This juvenile Black Skimmer should be well South of us by now.
