An adult and two juvenile black skimmers were operating in the marsh pond.
But who comes up with the fish?!?
Yes, it's the older and more experienced adult that gets a meal, while the youngsters have to be content to tag along.
I'm sure this is a learning experience for them as they are acquiring skills and knowledge to catch fish on their own.

Another fine effort. (Mrs SG, too) I just love the Skimmers. We have them up here, also. I have plenty of pictures of them with fish but they are never that large. The fish always seem to be like little minnows. Interesting!

I've never seen these birds before. Your images make it a wonderful way to be educated.
It's great that you and your wife are sharing such a wonderful hobby.
My husband is interested in photography too, but he likes photographing dead trees and small things while I love photographing people, nature and landscapes.
