Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger)


Rayador (Rynchops niger)
Author's comments:

Descansa con el pico al dorso, igual que "ostrero común" (confundible). Distinguible al observar su largo, bizarro y rojo pico, el cual utiliza para "rayar" la superficie del agua (de allí su nombre). Gregarios (bandadas numerosas).
