Black Skimmer
Rynchops niger
#photography #birds #wildlifephotography 🪶
Skimmers feed by opening the bill and dropping the long, narrow lower mandible into the water, skimming along until they feel a fish.

New Addition! 🌎 Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) #SouthAmericanBirds #NorthAmericanBirds | #BlackSkimmer #RynchopsNiger | #Skimmers #GullFamily #Shorebirds #Seabirds 📷: Photo by Beto_MdP🦜 #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds
🌎 Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) The Black Skimmer is a medium-sized seabird with a striking black and white appearance and a unique, bright red-and-black bill where the lower mandible is significantly longer than the upper. They are distributed along the coasts and large rivers of South and eastern North America. Skimmers are social birds that nest in colonies. They have a distinctive foraging behavior, flying low over the water with their lower bill "skimming" the surface to catch small fish by touch, often at dawn, dusk, or even at night. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Three subspecies are recognised.

This is a beach scene from Gulfport, Mississippi. The horizon is low in the frame and the sky is blue with dark clouds. There are the silhouettes of a large flock of black skimmers (Rynchops niger) flying from right to left.

Tide Dancers

Here’s a photograph of a gathering of Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) at Gulfport, Mississippi. ...

1/2

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #shorebirds #blackskimmers
"A wide gathering of Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) fills the shoreline with motion, contrast, and coastal energy. Along the water’s edge, dozens of birds stand in the shallows, their long, narrow bodies angled toward the surf as if listening to the rhythm of the tide. Their plumage forms a striking pattern—deep black across the back and wings, bright white along the underside—so the flock looks almost like a field of living silhouettes edged in light. Above them, several skimmers slice through the air in low, purposeful flight. Their wings are long and sharply pointed, catching the light as they tilt and bank. The birds’ distinctive bills—vivid red at the base, black at the tips, and with the lower mandible longer than the upper—stand out even at a distance, giving each bird a slightly dramatic profile. The water is shallow and restless, small waves folding over themselves as they reach the sand. Some birds stand ankle‑deep, reflections trembling beneath them; others wade forward as if preparing to launch. The scene feels alive with layered motion: wings beating overhead, water shifting below, and the quiet, communal presence of a flock gathered at the boundary between land and sea. The overall impression is one of wild order—chaos shaped into pattern by instinct and tide." - Microsoft Copilot
