Skimming

Wow, that's some cool flying and skimming! You would think the resistance of it's beak in the water would cause the bird to flip over. It's amazing it can still fly I think.

Great timing and captures Roger!

Does the skimmer score lunch like this? Nice catch on the wake the bird is creating in the second one.
Yes Alan, they do catch fish this way, Unfortunately I do not have a photograph showing a catch, and when they get a large fish it does look like the bottom jaw unhinges temporarily. for some reason it does not look like a great way to eat to me. But fun to watch.
