These are from today, just a Wandering Tattler in non-breeding plumage (in this time here it's hard to see one in breeding and I as usually missed the time when some of them were).
I really like the first one. Well done, ISv.

Great shots ! I love the trees as well.As I posted here a few weeks ago, the finches are on the move! So far in Wisconsin, it's off to the best start since 2012. We were inundated with Pine Siskins early in the month. Most have moved south, but there are still plenty lingering. White-winged Crossbills, Red Crossbills and Evening Grosbeaks have started showing up in decent numbers. And today, we had our first push of Common Redpolls into the southern part of the state. I have seen Red Crossbills and Evening Grosbeaks before, but only a handful of times. I have never seen White-winged Crossbills. That changed on Tuesday, when I had at least 30. Only got briefs looks and a couple doc shots, but still exciting. I had off on Friday and went back to find them. I found at least 45 and followed them around for several hours. 1500+ shots later... 7D mkll / EF 600 f4 ll / 1.4x lll
Now just waiting for Evening Grosbeaks and Common Redpolls (maybe even a Hoary) to show up close to me, hopefully tomorrow!!!

I'm going through the same dilemma of bare 100-500mm vs 100-400mm + 1.4xTC. There are those who say the TC is too detrimental. But, that's not my experience. My feelings at this stage are that the two are not so dissimilar that it makes much difference. I'll leave final judgement until either I get a 100-500mm to test directly or someone I trust does the direct comparison. Gordon Laing and dare I say him Ken Rockwell reckon if you already have the 100-400mm that there is not much reason to "upgrade" based on fairly casual comparisons.

Here's a 1000x1000 crop from the centre this morning of a Tree Sparrow taken with the 100-400+1.4xTC on the R5. No additional sharpening, just straight out of DxO PL4 with standard settings.
