Description

The black skimmer goes by many local names across North America. People call this bird scissor-bill, shearwater, seadog, flood gull, storm gull, razorbill and cutwater.
The black skimmer looks like a tern. It belongs to the gull family and nests in both north and south America.
Northern birds fly south for the winter. They look for warmer waters along the pacific coast and Caribbean beaches. Meanwhile, south American skimmers make much shorter trips. They simply follow yearly floods to hunt for food in shallow rivers.

Skim, the black skimmer skull replica, lines up four red golf balls on a smooth patch of grass. He gives it his all and whacks all four into a hole in one.
Stack, the black-casqued hornbill male skull replica, is spying on Skim. He now knows he had better get practicing his golf swings if he wants to win the golf tournament.
Onyx, the Brandt’s cormorant female skull replica, only uses black golf balls. She is counting down the days before she wins the beautiful shiny golf trophy.
Cliff, the common murre skull replica, is tuning up his golf cart, stocking it with beer and is ready for a day of comedy. He does not take anything seriously.
