Greets,
I took a peek at this bird at around ten until ten-thirty this morning as
well. I too thought I was seeing a bird about to croak when it picked up and
flew around, skimming. Surreal is seeing a Black Skimmer skimming around Black
Angus cows standing in the farm pond. A couple times it flew over the cows.
This is the second record of Black Skimmer for Fauquier, the first being on
Friday, 19 September by L. and E. Kiehl at Lake Athlone, about five miles due
west from where this bird was seen. I don't know the age of the bird seen at
Athlone yet.
A merlin was buzzing starlings at Harrison Road this morning as well.
Cheers,
Todd
