Default I really did take this in the K-Mart parking lot - not near the shore

I was in a parking lot in North Western NJ today and took these Seagull pictures -- no water for many miles:
(Taken with Nikon D5000 and Nikon 70-300VR)

Beautiful shots, These are pretty hard to capture. I have seen hundreds of them in the Wal Mart parking lot here all the time.

Really nice captures all of them and so clear, they must have been lost TFS.

excellent sets Kirb.. great clarity and exposures on moving targets. I always look for feather detail and clear skies in Gull shots and you nailed them.. I really enjoyed all of them.

You made shooting moving targets look easy. Thanks for sharing! All I keep thinking is: "Mine... mine... mine... mine... (FindingNemo) :-)

Nice shots. It pays to have your camera with you all the time, even walking through a parking lot :-).

When I lived in Philadelphia I used to see gulls in parking lots quite a bit, never could figure out why.

Truth be told, I believe that they like to eat our leftovers that we leave around the parking lots.
