Whilst I've seen isolated black skimmers every summer for the past few years on this stretch of the Hudson, I've never seen them with such regularity as I have over the last week. Just now another 4 cruised upriver, seeming to have crossed NYC at its point of lowest altitude (smart birds), before

Skimmers also occur fairly regularly in the Meadowlands and along the Hackensack River in New Jersey during the summer, so they're by no means restricted to beaches. -Scott Haber On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 11:50 AM, Phil Jeffrey wrote: > They've been seen in both Central and Prospect Parks over

Last night while walking in Prospect Park around 10:30pm, I was surprised to see several Black Skimmers emerge from the darkness to silently glide over the lake near the new Lakeside Center, with their distinctive skimming motion. There were 8 or 9 in the flock. Beautiful birds! I didn't know

Hi, does anyone know if there are still skimmers hanging around Nickerson or Lido?  Volunteers for Wildlife has a juvenile that was rescued and is now ready for release.  They would prefer to release him in the area where he was found.   Please email me off-list.   Thanks, Stella Miller
