Good morning, Marilyn .... this gull was on a scavenger hunt through a parking lot and was "floating" about 25 feet off the ground heading my way ... I was sitting in my car with my camera in my hands (my wife was just backing out of the parking spot and I said "STOP" ... she did, and this was taken out of the passenger side windown .... First time I had ever gotten a decent shot of a large bird in flight .... steve #4145504

Great shot Steve,
You've got to have great reflexes and a steady hand to get that kind of shot. #4183478
