EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible nesting behavior of the Black Skimmer on the stunning shores of Gulf of Mexico, Florida. With its striking black and white plumage, this coastal bird stands tall and alert on its nest, eagerly awaiting the arrival of its mate. As if it were a secret agent on a mission, our feathered friend keeps a watchful eye on the horizon. Its keen senses detect any sign of movement or sound that could signal its partner's return. Nesting is serious business for these skimmers, as they rely on each other to protect their precious eggs from predators lurking nearby. The sandy beach serves as both their sanctuary and playground. Amidst all the sharing and caring between mates, these birds also find time to enjoy some leisurely moments by the shore. Who knew protecting nests could be so much fun? Captured by talented photographers Maresa Pryor and Danita Delimont from www. DanitaDelimont. com, this remarkable image perfectly encapsulates not only nature's beauty but also showcases how wildlife can teach us about love, dedication, and teamwork. So next time you visit Florida's breathtaking coastline or simply need a reminder to stay vigilant in life's challenges - remember our diligent Black Skimmer!
