Without a doubt, 2020 was full of surprises, even when it comes to birdwatching and photographing nesting shorebirds at the Nickerson Beach.
Missed days, due to temporary closure, were rewarded with action filled visits after the reopening the beach. Early in the season, I alerted everyone to this newly forming colony of Black Skimmers. As I hoped, not only it was successful, it provided amazing photographic opportunities throughout the season. Like this scene of mating Black Skimmers was taken at that colony.
