Black Skimmers on the Beach


d The pair of nesting Black Skimmers are resting comfortability in front of the band shell on Daytona Beach's Boardwalk. The local's tried unsucessfully to get them to nest in a more remote part of the beach but instead they choose the most popular location on the beach. Guess they like the night live here. The photo at the top was taken from the Daytona Beach Pier and gives you some perspective of the Black Skimmer's location. These photos were taken at 9:00 am, just imagine how many people will be here by noon. Taken with a Canon 50D, using a Canon 80-28 mm lens. The lower photo was taken at 80 mm, f/13, 1/500 sec. 100 iso. The lower photo was taken at 28 mm, f/13, 1/250 sec, 100 iso
