Forgotten fotos found - Black Skimmer chase
/I discovered these photos of a Black Skimmer chase while in the process of compiling favorite photos taken at birding spots near my former residence in Pensacola, Florida. The chase was observed on August 28, 2009 at Fort Pickens, Florida. Fort Pickens is one component of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. If my memory is correct, the skimmer with the minnow managed to evade the chaser and consume the catch.
