Juvenile Black Skimmer - Nickerson Beach, New York

Juvenile Black Skimmer practicing skimming:

I was lucky enough to find a perfect spot to photograph young Black Skimmers practicing skimming at the Nickerson Beach right at the sunrise, just few weeks ago.

Here is a closer look at the same photograph:

Within minutes, I posted a message informing everyone on the conditions at the beach on my Location Updates blog, to inform everyone on my find.

If you need help with improving your photography there, as well as to help you with a very first visit to the Nickerson Beach, I wrote an extensive guide on this spectacular place to photograph nesting shorebirds: https://www.greggard.com/blog/nesting-shorebirds-nickerson-beach-long-island-ny-photography-guide
