Juvenile ring-billed gull had just scooped food out of the water.  It's bill has little bits of food on it.

 
Conditions were just the way I like them for a bird in flight (a) bird was flying toward the sunlight for better color, contrast, and shadows (b) bird was flying into the wind, slowing it down helping me keep it in the focus point, and (c) the bird did not notice me until it was very close. I think it heard the camera shutter and then it turned.
