hey guys! I searched up 'birds of Florida' to help John with his birds, and I came across this bird, it isn't my photo I'm just borrowing it from the internet, can anyone please indentify? It really is such an peculiar looking bird, all I know is that it's some sort of tern with a MASSIVE bill
thank you!! :)
Black Skimmer, they fly just above the water with their lower mandible in the water and when they feel contact with a fish then they will snap their beak shut and catch the fish, that explains the weird looking beak.
Thanks Tim! I couldn't belive how big it's bill was, it looks a lot like tern! :)
