What does one call a grouping of black skimmers such as this... a blizzard of skimmers? I like the way you filled the image with the skimmers... a confusion of skimmers? Well seen and well captured!

I found conspiracy of skimmers. Collective nouns are great.

Love those red bits.

Truly remarkable image, well captured and presented, reminds me of one of those "Where's Waldo" books.
