I've taken a few shots like this with color slide film in the mid-90s.
Probably none as good as yours are Bruce. I found that taking an $8.00
ferry trip from Seattle to Bremerton afforded a 45 minute window of
gulls hovering within feet of the rails at the front of the boat
waiting for the kids and some adults to feed them chips, bread, hot
dog pieces. If you stood next to one of the feeders, you could use a
normal lens (on my PZ-1p) and fill the frame. I'll have to try that
again with a higher ISO than Ektachrome for a faster shutter speed.
You did great in my opinion. And I agree with Cotty on the best one.
If only the Wright Bros. had a way to capture what we can, the first
flight may have happened many years earlier that 1903.

I finished all my culling and edits and have just a last few birds in
flight for showing...you don't have to look - if you are adverse to
seeing seagulls, but at least these are not just standing around on
the pier or something.
All show with:
K-x, Sigma 100-300/4 EX @ 300mm
ISO 400, 1/2500 sec @ f:5.6, Handheld
