Description
Landing On Icy Water,
This seagull came in for a slippery landing on icy waters. I was feeding the ducks, geese, and seagulls crackers and "cheerios." It was a warm fun day in December in Gaithersburg at the Washingtonian Center also known as the Rio. I have never seen so many seagulls here. Must be a landing spot for those migrating south for the winter. The warm weather is confusing the poor wildlife here. Emmy Vickers,

Great capture Emmy. I do like the sharply focused face contrasted with the movement of the wings. v
Emmy Vickers replied:
Thanks John for the commentary, v, and compliment. When I took this photo, I thought it was going to be too blurry. It was difficult capturing these birds in flight, I really had to anticipate and be ready to capture them at the right nano second. So glad that you really like this capture - thanks again John for taking the time to view and comment!
