I thought these guys were gathering for the funeral but when I was checking on my settings and looked back up I saw he had flown away. All was well.

    Cool shot! That's pretty much how skimmers nap!

    Thanks. I found out about their napping methods after I had gotten this. I'll know next time.

    Good capture I saw similar behavior with skimmers at the Viera Wetlands. I was sure this oen was dead then it popped up and started hunting for food.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I looked at the picture before I read what you had to say and I almost cried. I am very emotional. But that's a sign of a good picture!thumb.gif
