Skimmer Shore Bird at George Jelks blog

Skimmer Shore Bird. The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: Feeds by flying close to surface of water and dipping its lower mandible into the water. The bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill. Successful colonies usually occupy the same nest sites each year, although skimmers will readily colonize a new site if an old one becomes unavailable. Black skimmer populations are declining because of development and coastal erosion (which reduces suitable nesting habitat) and disturbance by humans (which destroys eggs and tiny chicks). These elegant, unusual birds nest right where weathered oil continues washing ashore and cleanup crews are active: The black skimmer is a social bird, roosting and breeding in large colonies, often alongside gulls and terns, and benefiting from the protection of their more aggressive neighbors. Sand and shell beaches and islands.
