Talk:Black skimmer

A note
This bird has been labeled as "Threatened" by the local news, and a section of Daytona Beach, Florida was blocked off because one bird laid its egg on the beach. I did a search on Google for more information to make sure this claim was valid, and it appears so. I am not sure as to the exact status of the bird, but it is NOT of least concern. The city of Daytona decided to block off a portion of its beach for the bird to lay its eggs, with signs saying not to disturb the animal, and this was due to a single pair of mates nesting on the beach near all of the tourist. It takes approx. 2 months for the egg to hatch. There has only been 3 pair of them spotted on the beach over the last few years. I am not able to find out the exact status. Please help by offering more information. Phattieg (talk) 21:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Robert G.
 * It may be threatened in Florida, but it certainly isn't overall — it's found throughout much of the Americas. BirdLife International and the IUCN, which evaluates these things, rate it as Least Concern. MeegsC | Talk 18:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Work done
Hi All,

As per the tag to cleanup the images I have deleted 2 which are here in case anyone has issue. For the others I put together into the gallery to give more a timeline of their growth. Also I divided into sections and swapped the last two section, keeping the body text together and the info seperated.
