Black Skimmers are a large tern species known for the lower mandible being longer than the upper. Used to skim the water’s surface to catch prey. These were photographed at the Edwin Forsythe Preserve in New Jersey and along Nickerson Beach in Long Island, NY. #skimmer #bird #eildlife #birdwatching

One of my favorite spots has insect eating eastern bluebirds. It is a community garden spot and nest boxes are there for them and tree swallows. This is a male with his more brilliant colors. #bird #bluebird #nature #birdwatching #eildlife
