One of the challenges in wildlife photography is choosing where to stand. Should I stay put or go to the next opening for a better view? Will the bird stay on the same path or veer to the left? Are there any Alligators nearby?

I saw this pair of Black Skimmers coming towards me along the edge of the pond.  My view was obstructed of their approach by the reeds.

I got lucky and they stayed together and moved into the center of the open water. I stayed put and got an aerial show.

I love to watch these birds fly and wonder when they are in pairs how they stay synchronized.

Their fishing is done by touch and when the Skimmer feels a fish in the water their heads snap down as they lift the prey.
