All of the baby skimmers were screaming for fish.
Parents were flying in with breakfast.
All the babies were swallowing the fish whole. Although, I don’t think that’s a fish in that last picture. I think he was trying to eat some random item on the beach.
It’s interesting how each parent can find their own babies among the many babies all huddled nearby. The adults were very aggressive, some trying to steal fish from other babies to feed to their own babies.
More shots from my morning with the baby skimmers on the beach in late July.
Linking to Wednesday Around the World.
Wow, fantastic captures! Thank you for sharing!

They’re really great pictures. The bill looks too big for the bird and makes it even trickier to feed their young. Somehow they manage perfectly well.
