The picture of this Herring Gull in flight was taken at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Herring Gull in flight was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

On a really windy day, the birds will be flying into the wind and will remain more still making it easier to get a shot of the bird in flight.
