I spent a couple of days on Marco Is., FL looking for some Black Skimmers. It was VERY hot and a fairly long hike which included a waist high wade across a lagoon to the beach.
We have some skimmers that feed in some retention ponds near Stuart but not like the nesters on Marco Is.

Thanks Doddy. I wish i could have spent more time there. I'd have to be in better shape for the 8 km round trip though.
