Walk along the shore of the Mexican Gulf in Florida in the late afternoon and you’ll find a myriad of birds beach-combing, fishing or, simply, resting. Here are ring-billed gull, willet, sandwich tern, sanderling, ruddy turnstone, royal tern, lesser black-backed gull and laughing gull. I photographed the black skimmer in very poor light but catching one skimming the surface of the water in search of food is a once in a long time opportunity.
