I was in the Wal-Mart parking lot early November and there were a bunch of Sea Gulls flying around.
I like flying birds so I spent some time trying to capture them against the gray sky.
I enjoy any flying capture but find it hard to do.
It was fun trying and these are my best shots.
I finally said goodbye as they flew away.
I do hope you enjoyed the show and will visit some of the other critters Misty has to offer on her Meme.

I love to watch them gliding. I have often wondered what first attracted them to parking lots.
Nice shots!!! You do a much better job than I do of catching birds on camera!
I think they are great shots! I can't even take a decent picture of a bird sitting down somewhere, let alone a flying one.
You did a great job catching these seagulls...now let me try:)
You did a good job F.G. Practice makes perfect!
I live near the ocean and I see these all the time around our Wal-Mart. What's it about Wal-Mart that they like so much?
Lovely flight shots! I could never have taken a moving shot...I dont see much birds here except pigeons and crows anyway...
I recognized those Walmart lights, Tom, before I saw the bird!!! Great shots of the gulls...
Have a good weekend.

Love the third one best FG!
Those skies certainly were grey.
I wish I could capture flying birds a well as you do. Very nice shots!
I admit, I have a really hard time capturing flying birds as well. Nice job!
I love to watch them too. We use to have a red tail hawk being chased my a blue jay come by daily at my old home in St. Louis. I only see them by the highway here in Lake of the Ozarks mo. I love the close ups you get. What brand of camera do you use?
Nice captures!
These are great shots - It's nice to see!
Yes, very difficult to capture. You did a good job...
Very hard to capture a flying bird-I have trouble with "sitting still" birds. You got some great shots-they look like they're from a book about birds!
nice capture! love the third picture awesome. Check out my lizard here and thanks for the visit.
You're right - it's VERY hard to do, but you did a great job!
Gulls are mad birds and they do seem to be moving inland more. Fabulous again.
One of the best reasons to visit Wallyworld! We have them at our walmart too. Good captures, not easy to do.
The last to are my favorites.
Good job fishing guy!
Those are really wonderful pictures! I can never figure why but there always seems to be some kind of birds hanging out at a WalMart.
I seem to be a step behind you again. I put some street lights on my blog for this SkyWatch. While taking some of them, I tried to get some birds flying, but did not get any in focus. I do have birds on one of the sets of lights, though.
very nice
Fishing Guy, you captured so well the flying seagull! And, as you rightly say, it's so difficult to make photos of flying birds.
Great sequence!
fantastic in flight shots!!
Wonderful shots! I always have a difficult time trying to capture a bird in flight. Very nicely done!
I love watching the gulls here. Your photos are very good.
Those guys really fly inland to look for food. I bet they found the dumpsters at Wal Mart. They show up in droves here when a storm is blowing in---especially snow. But alas we haven't had snow yet this winter. Take care. Keep posting and I'll keep reading.

You've got some great flight action!!
It's amazing what you see at a Walmart parking lot. Surprised to see such a bird in Ohio ... you must be great to one of the Great Lakes?
You did get some nice shots of the gull. We sometimes see them around here at Walmart and there is no ocean or lake for many, many miles around.
Great shots, Fg, esp your third shot..it is hard to capture them in flight..but you did a nice job of it!
Those are some great shots! I know most people aren't big fans of seagulls, but when my hubby and I went to Mendocino for our anniversary, we had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Two "friends" (seagulls) joined us. They were very clean and well-behaved. They'd sit on our balcony rail and we'd throw them peanuts. The were quite entertaining! We named them "Stan" and "Stu"...

Always a challenge to get good fliers. I like #4 the best. Blue Skies.
Nicely done, Tom! Great in flights!
Cheers, Klaus
This is so funny....I just took photos of the gulls hanging out at Target today! I'll be posting them tomorrow! Isn't it amazing? Wonder what is going on in the gull world that is sending them to the shopping centers?? Good shots!
You captured it well Tom, especially in the third shot.
