Watch this video I got of some very cool birds - Black Skimmer's. They make nests right on the beach by scrapping out a little indentation in the sand and then lay their eggs. You can see in this video some of their mating habits. Sometimes a big storm will come along and wipe out the entire colony of nesting birds. The adults can fly away, but young birds and eggs don't make it. Sea Gulls also are a hazard for the Black Skimmers as they go after the young birds. It's hard being a bird!
