Flag and Feathers

I took this photo of hundreds of black skimmers sweeping past a prominent building near the docks in Gulfport, Mississippi. I played with the light to create a sky washed in deep orange, leaving the birds and the building softly pale against it.

Here’s a photograph of a gathering of Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger) at Gulfport, Mississippi. Every time we visited, I ended up taking hundreds of pictures of these fascinating birds, so I like to post one every now and then.

Pier, Ocean, and Avian Symphony

This is a seascape captured one morning at Gulfport, Mississippi. The ocean stretches out toward a long pier in the distance, its red‑roofed gazebos standing out against the horizon. The sky is an intense, almost unreal blue, with dark clouds drifting across it. Hundreds of birds—likely black skimmers—are flying away in a great sweeping movement, some still close enough to see clearly, others already far off in the distance.

For those who love skies set ablaze with color—sunsets that linger, clouds that speak in texture and light—my gallery holds a collection crafted just for you.

Passing in Formation

I captured this image of a flock of birds passing over the water at Gulfport, Mississippi. Or perhaps it’s two flocks in quiet procession. In the foreground are royal terns (Thalasseus maximus), their crested heads and sharp orange beaks cutting through the air. Farther out from shore, trailing low and deliberate, are black skimmers (Rynchops niger), distinguishable by their dark plumage and elongated lower mandibles.

Wings of the Horizon

In this photograph, a dark ocean stretches across the foreground, its surface gently rippled by low waves. The sky above is overcast, painted in muted shades of blue that suggest a quiet, contemplative hour. Just above the horizon, hundreds of black skimmers (Rynchops niger) surge through the air in a sweeping formation. Their silhouettes—long-winged and knife-beaked—fill the frame from edge to edge, extending beyond its borders as if the flock cannot be contained. Out at sea, they move as one: a living ribbon of flight etched against the sky’s soft gloom.

The Waiting Flock

One year, during an overnight stay in Gulfport, Mississippi, the beach was alive with flocks of black skimmers (Rynchops niger). As they rested on the sand, each flock formed a dense mosaic of black, white, and vivid orange—like a living tapestry woven from feathers and beaks.

Good morning. 😴😫☕

3 June 2025

I’ve definitely got a case of morning-head today. First thing I did? Spilled the beans—literally. I went to fill the grinder and ended up scattering coffee beans all over the counter. Probably didn’t get enough sleep last night; I was wilding out into the scandalously late hour of… after ten. Yep, totally out of control—watching a movie. There was a stretch in my 20s when I’d stay out at the clubs until sunrise, five or six nights a week. Monday was my recovery day, and somehow, I still managed to function. I survived it, but barely. Luck definitely did some of the heavy lifting. Eventually, the idea of “responsibility” began to trickle into my brain—slowly, reluctantly, like it wasn’t quite sure it belonged there.

“Character—the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life—is the source from which self-respect springs.” — Joan Didion
