Why four nesting shorebirds had Palm Beach County officials jumping for joy

Why four nesting shorebirds had Palm Beach County officials jumping for joy Kimberly Miller, Palm Beach Post © Benji Studt, PBC ERM For the first time in Palm Beach County records, black skimmers are nesting in the Lake Worth Lagoon as restoration efforts build more sandy islands for them to hatch chicks. Photo credit: Benji Studt, PBC ERM The black skimmer, a shorebird with an underbite made for scooping prey on the fly, lives in a shrinking space along Florida’s beachy fringe, squished between rising seas and high-rises. A preference to lay its eggs in shallow dimples of wide-open sand has driven the skimmer from crowded coastlines to harsh gravel rooftops and crumbly roadsides vulnerable to cars. It’s also pushed the striking black-and-white seabird onto Florida’s threatened species list.
