Black Skimmer chick - video - Nickerson Beach, NY

Short, slow-motion clip of a 10 days old Black Skimmer chick jumping into the air and flapping its wings:

Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) chick jumping and flapping wings - Nickerson Beach, NY

As you can see, these little birds don’t stay still for long 🙈 Tracking it and keeping it in focus wasn’t easy😁

First part of this video is displayed at normal speed, where the second part is slowed down as much as 4 times. My favorite part of this clip is the moment when this chicks jumps up as it is startled by a small fly🤣

I hope you liked it!
