The Black Skimmer,
Rynchops niger, is found along the East coast of North America from
Massachusetts to Southern Mexico and also across most of South America
East of the Andes. skimmers fly along just above water surface and drag
the lower part of bill through the water. When they encounter fish, they
tucks their head and grab the fish while flying past. This pair is
flying along the Miranda River in Brazil where we noticed them being
very active at night.
