Really cool to see a juvenile bird. I have yet to see one in person and this could be the first image i have seen posted here of a youngster. Cool looking plumage. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for looking,

This is a very nice shot. Nice wing position and eye contact with the young Skimmer, the oof birds in the background
really add to this frame.

Click on the image to see it best and then it is a fine capture! I really like this one a lot Stan, the selective focus on the juvenile works superbly for my tastes. Well done!
