Came across that little wren with its beak fully stuffed with insects.
I couldn't decide to leave any of those pics away

Very nice shots. At 20+ fps I'm afraid you will have more first-rate photos to bin now than inferior ones in the past! My number of keepers has gone right down because of having to discard shots I would loved to have taken in the past.

That’s why I haven’t chosen to use those high fps rates yet

Rufous hummingbird fledgling in Northern Idaho. Still didn’t quite have the hang of flying. An hour later it was bush hopping with a parent. EOS R7, RF 100-400, DPP Express.

Cordilleran Flycatchers nested on our deck in Northern Idaho . Hatched overnight. R6, RF800, DPP Express. In the shadows so high ISO. DPP Express didn’t clean it up well. Will be interesting to see if DxO PL can do better.

I know, I know - common bird and intrusive, annoyance e.t.c. (and I hate them in the early morning of the weekends !) But it's the baby hatched in front of my lanai (as every year) and I never payed attention. On other hand I didn't go anywhere today. First two shots taken easily by hand (with some support!) and than I decided (~40 min later?) that it may want a tripod...
In the last shot it's posing like some fashion girls but I took it to show that it's not an adult female - the feathers in the tail are still not developed!

It looks like a Cassin's Kingbird to me. Lovely shot, JPAZ.

Thanks, all.
