Black Skimmer Chick Feeding
Black Skimmer Chick Feeding - S.W Florida
While photographing this chick, it shocked me that they eat the fish with beach sand and all! This one was shaking the fish left and right until it finally got it right. Notice the tiny rocks around the fish.
With all that drama, the chick was left with some tiny rocks around the eye which I removed in CS5. I only left the natural catch-light.
Hope you like it.
