I saw a black skimmer between Pt Isabel and Marina Bay about 11am on Sunday.
The water level was low and it was skimming in a channel running parallel to
the shore. I was bicycling on the trail adjacent to the bay when the skimmer
caught my eye. Its flying pattern was so distinctive. I stopped and got a good
look at it through the small binoculars I keep in my saddle bags.
I saw one on the same place about 2 weeks ago but it was the briefest glimpse.
Today I watched it go back and forth for several minutes before I had to leave.
It was north of the dog walk area, perhaps a mile or so total from Central Ave.
