You ever see the Hitchcock movie the Birds? There were so many of them surrounding me I should have been shaking in my boots. It was fun and I was able to hold the camera still. Thanks jacques.

Call it luck, or maybe they just didn't want to crap on the hand that was feeding them. Pretty risky though. Of all the things we go through to get a good shot, eh!

Thanks Shirley! The patch of blue sky certainly helped, and just the day before this we experienced a 15 hour storm with wind gusts up to 80mph.

Thank you Partha. It was a fun photo shoot. There's nothing quite like a hundred birds swarming around to bring out the photographer in me:)

Thanks Mike. Let's face it, this was pure luck. Many of the seagull photos I took were nice, but this one gull had it in for the fella with a lump of bread in his throat and decided to take action. Great timing, but nevertheless, pure luck.
