What's new

A first for me

We have them by the thousands here along the Gulf Coast. They fly low along the water and skim the water with the dropped lower beak, when something (small fish) hits it, the beak is triggered shut and bam, lunch. Locals call them shearwaters for obvious reasons. I like that name better.
 
Nice shots! Did you find those here in MA? I’ve spent a lot of time on the water and have never seen those.

Thanks. Yes in the Plymouth area. I have a friend who is a marine biologist with the state who said he has been of the water for over 40 years and has never seen one.
