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.

Those are neat shots. I've always wondered why skimmers don't break their neck when they hit something in the water. It's amazing how little wake their lower bill leaves, it just slips through the water with no splash at all.
