Last night (7PM) I stopped by a lagoon near my apartment in Cutler Bay and was surprised by two Black Skimmers working the water. They made dozens of passes through a section that was lit weakly by a nearby light.

Jennifer Nestler observed the same behavior last night up in Palm Beach County as well.

Several resources indicate that they are known to feed nocturnally around the full moon...amazing to see in action!
