It’s a pleasure to meet you, privatebydesign.Thanks for the warm welcome and good laugh this morning! Somewhere someone is freaking out that I didn’t have dual card slots in this moment...

Bufflehead ducks getting ready to touch down.
The birds were quite far away but crop sensor and higher res of this camera came to rescue.
EOS M6 Mark II, with EF100-400 L II, @400.0 mm, 1/1000 sec, ISO 1000 handheld.

Absolutely love the reflections and movement in this photo! Awesome job, bhf3737!!
Thank you! I wanted to catch them when all move a bit to the right to avoid brightness of the water surface but it seems that luckily I could capture some reflection.
Absolutely - I needed a Nikony D7R IV for this:
Oh - hang on. It was my 7D Mk II.
And the rubbish-at-AF Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8.
And a 2X TC.
At 600mm

Awesome shot, AlanF! I love that blue and the framing. Also, thank you for your 90D posts. They really helped me decide to go with that camera body for wildlife (especially for birding). Look forward to seeing more of your photos
Thanks Theodore. The 90D is great. We are starting our real birding trip on Sunday and sharing two 100-400mm II and the 90D and 5DSR between us, and have left the 5DIV at home. There is sufficient reach with 400mm on the 90D that there is no need to use a 1.4xTC with it. I am pleased my earlier posts have been helpful.
The 5DSR + 100-400mm II + 1.4xTC is really quite good for BIF despite being limited to just the centre spot + 4 helpers. Here is a group of glossy ibises, downsized and one at 100% crop.
