A couple more Waxwings from yesterday. For the second one, I had put on the 1.4x on the RF 100-500 and R7 but had to dial back to 420mm as I got close. No more visits!

Finally, a Snowy Owl! It's been over 18 months since out last one in the city. One showed up yesterday, with an American Coot in its talons, sitting on a residential chimney for the majority of the day. We finally found out and nailed down the address about 330pm. The word got out and was enjoyed until sunset by at least 25 in the birding community and another 30+ neighbors and passersby. Quite an awesome late afternoon! 7D mkll / EF 600f4 ll
I was contacted by the editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for a few photos on his story, which is the link below.

Snowy owl roosts on chimney cap in in Bay View, delighting residents and birders
A snowy owl was sighted Wednesday in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, but few of the birds have been seen in Wisconsin so far this season.

These are by far better photos! What distance you were allowed?
I'm not sure it's the camera that makes the difference but you should know better - you shoot both of them!

It's a great pose to see the wings coming together straight but the tail curving in the second photo. Food in the mouth is fun too!

The yellow is striking! Were they all in the same tree and if so, did you take a wide angle shot to get more of the tree?

Yes, they were all in the same tree. I attached an uncropped shot with more of the tree. Can go take a shot of the whole thing if you'd like.

It could be a nice shot to have the whole tree, but I suppose it becomes a tree portrait that happens to have a bird, right?

Yep, I think so. And it's actually not a very nice looking one right now. Neighbors trimmed the heck out of it.
