Thank you danniepolly. I'm glad you liked them.

Thanks ozmerelda. YOU got me interested in the trip to the west coast with your posts.

Thank you Sylvia for the kind comment. They are such fun birds to watch.

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.

Thank you Silverman. I really love these guys.

Thank you KP.

Thanks Chief.Skimmers are such cool birds.

Thanks fredtoo. Glad you liked them.

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.

I will try tommow.

I don't see Lexar or memory listed on his website.

I too am with out the SD plugin. I have talked with Lexar a few times and each time the assured that because it is still listed on their web site that they will be produced. Now I see that B&H indicates expected delivery next month instead of being discontinued. I am still holding out hope.

A great job Larry, in both planning and execution. Truly, a beautiful photograph!

I think that I may have just walked on by it. Thank you for not. Well done, I think.
