Black Skimmer skimming - Nickerson Beach, NY
An adult Black Skimmer skimming at the Nickerson Beach, New York:
Fascinated by their look and behavior, I kept searching for a perfect spot to photograph Black Skimmers. This is what originally brought me to Nickerson Beach some time ago. (Actually, I need to check when exactly was my very first visit there 🤔. One thing for sure, there was barely any information online on that spot back then and Twitter was at its infancy🙈).
Despite large colonies of breeding skimmers there, skimming shots aren’t that easy to come by. In my Location Updates I will be sharing tips on how I get shots like this, what to look for, how to plan your visit with these shots in mind etc. For a limited time, I’m offering these updates at the discounted price: https://www.greggard.com/location-updates/nickerson-beach-ny-updates
