Black Skimmer with Dinner

I like this shot because I finally got a sharp image of a bird in flight with a meal! The skimmer's head angle and the lighting are good, so I was pleased. Every time I visit North Carolina, I try and get a few images of these birds, and the last time I was there, the young were about 1 month old and the parents were busy feeding them.
