Show your Bird Portraits

The RF 200-800mm is arriving tomorrow! But, it has to compete with the RF 100-500mm on the R7. Here 's a shot with them this afternoon of a Dunnock in my garden at over 8m away. The crop, 100%, shows the detail that is pulled out (the full image is reduced in size to fit).

An unusual guest (during this blustery cold season): Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens). Should be somewhere in Central America and not here in St. Lawrence valley (southern Quebec).
Old good 7D2 + 100-400L II + 1.4x III

Nearing sunset with the last clouds leaving the area, Ms. Kestrel decided another meal was in order to deal with the dropping temperatures.

Not a new shot and an extreme crop, but one I got a kick out of. R5, EF 100-400 L II w/1.4 TC . ISO 4000, 560mm, f/9, 1/200s. This kind of shot led me to buy the R7 and 800 mm lenses for another 2x magnification. (The R5 with a 1.4x has almost exactly the same pixel count per unit area as the R7 bare and then add another 1.4 to get to 800 and that is the 2x)
