Q: Do Black Skimmers winter in flocks on the east coast?
A: During September and October, postbreeding adult and juvenile Black Skimmers congregate in flocks on the Cape May beaches. Many of the skimmers that we see roosting by day at Second Avenue Jetty are from the Stone Harbor Point colony.
During the winter, skimmers in the northern part of their breeding range will migrate south. A good place to view skimmers during the winter is on the coast of Florida.
