Welcome to Project Noah, Lynn. You're right; they are black skimmers. When you edit the spotting for the ID you can also adjust the map to show that you spotted the birds at Jetty Park (Port Canaveral). I also have rarely seen skimmers on this coast; very cool spotting.

We saw these birds at the Port Canaveral Seashore, Florida on the Atlantic Ocean--Jetty Park.
