TITUSVILLE, FL - - Today was 'check out' a couple of new places in Merritt Island NWR. East Gator Rd, a twisty and narrow one lane-plus marl track out among the mangroves, didn't produce any gators. We didn't really expect any despite the colorful name. We also didn't expect to come upon a Black Skimmer working on his breakfast. Neither did we expect him to zip in front of us in one direction and then the other, over and overt again. But he did. These three photos are representative of the activity. There was never any indication whether or not he ever got anything to eat.
