The vibrant blue backdrop adds an artistic touch to this portrait. Watch out, New York City - this skilled fisherman is on the move! With its distinctive beak and elegant flight, the adult Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) steals the show as it glides above the coastal waters of North America.

Captured by talented photographer Marie Read, this snapshot showcases nature's perfect balance between grace and survival. It's no wonder why bird enthusiasts flock to witness such breathtaking moments in person.
