Black skimmers at Cape May, NJ

We’re in Cape May, New Jersey, the first stop of our trip. Our hotel is right across from the beach, so I insisted on walking around the beach before we checked in. There was a huge flock of these black skimmers on the sand and in the air (thanks to Suzanne for the ID!)

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
