I was just going for some seagull shots. I love trying to get interesting flight shots. Neither my husband nor I saw the feather actually come off. I just noticed it when I was chimping in the car afterwards!

Thanks for all the wonderful votes and comments!

Ha lovely moment and capture of the flying feather. Great upward beat of the wings and head on POV. A slightly higher shutter speed 1/2000th? would have made this top notch imo.
