This is my original artwork of a black skimmer gliding along the Florida coast looking for food.

Black Skimmer @Debra Martz I was standing on the end of a boardwalk that extends into the Laguna Madre watching a Reddish Egret when this Skimmer appeared. It made several circles in the area before moving on a little north. The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish.

This is my watercolor of a black skimmer bird with a chick that I was inspired to paint after seeing a flock of black skimmers nesting on the island where I was vacationing at Navarre Beach, FL.
