Show your Bird Portraits

[AlanF]

Photos taken in Costa Rica, paradise for a bird photography, just bring a lot of memory cards, and then double it!

Still using my old, good 7D2 + 100-400 L with 1.4X. What to choose and post?

Beautiful shots! The 7DII and 100-400mm II is still a powerful combination.

Many thanks AlanF! Still waiting for something similar in RF family to appear... Even second cousin would be fine, but not twice removed
Always enjoying your postings here.

A grey (edit:) Canada goose, so much willing to pose for me that the last pic was almost FF size (whatever hit me to type that wrong)
R6m2@500mm

Very nice close-ups, Maximilian. I especially like the 2nd shot.

That little goldcrest is just wonderful.
I wish I could see one again. Right now I only hear them in the forrest.

Thank you!
Some goldcrest appear in a very small part of a local park during winter time. Now I have to wait till next winter.
R5 + Rf 100-500 + 1.4TC

My day started pretty gray in the beginning: shortly after I arrived to my walking path it started drizzling - I was happy to get that White Eye!
Just an +/- 2-3 hours later, when at home I noticed something very bright standing on a stem of sugar cane near my house! And the rain was gone (off course - it's there when I'm out). I was sure it's just a bird that escaped an enclosure (There is nothing similar around from the parrots that made permanent presence here): until a lady behind of me asked: "Do you like him? It's my pet"! I knew her - they come recently around but I didn't know they have a pet! Any way - rather colorful for difference from the White Eye! I still have to figure out the ID but for now it looks like a Sun Parakeet (Aratinga solstitialis).

Some more from family little greebe.
Pretty far away, so almost 1:1 cropping was needed.

Yeah - the Parakeet is lovely because of the colors! Since it's in the neighborhood I may have a chance to take a photo at better light! Too much contrast light and blown highlights in these photos...
