[QUOTE="hark, post: 520178, member: 13196"] Being a 24/7 caregiver, my time is limited; however, my intention is to get out more frequently this year to shoot than I did in 2015. This was taken today at a local Community Park. It's the first time I've seen such a huge flock of seagulls on land. The Delaware River isn't too far away so it's common to see them on the river banks but not so common here. And it was my first time having them standing on solid ground--definitely a nice way to start out the New Year! I'm not accustomed to taking bird photos...especially ones in motion...so my New Year really started off with a bang! Of course, once they became airborne and started circling above me, I quickly retreated to my car! I didn't want to be their target practice! ;) Fortunately I was able to take a number of photos before they started flying directly overhead.
