Description: English: The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer genus Rynchops in the gull family Laridae. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows. Italiano: Il becco a cesoie americano (Rynchops niger, Linnaeus 1758) è un uccello della famiglia dei Laridae, dell'ordine dei Charadriiformes. Vive in tutto il Sud America, nel Centro America e nei Caraibi; nel Nord America lo si incontra fino al Québec e al Newfoundland sul versante atlantico, e fino alla California su quello pacifico. È accidentale su Grenada, in Giamaica e sulle Bermude. È un uccello limicolo che abita presso laghi, stagni, paludi aperte, bassifondi marini e lagune costiere. Durante il periodo riproduttivo li si incontra su spiagge sabbiose o ai margini di paludi salate. Date: 15 August 2014, 12:00:00. Source: Own work. Author:
