Jack hello,

I had the same issue until I created a post in this thread after the site has been updated.

I took the outdated 5DIV mirrorslapper and the 400mm DO II + 1.4xTC, now rendered obsolete by Nikon. The good news is that the kingfishers have returned to a local spot, the last inhabitants having been killed by the severe cold.

Beautiful picture, Alan.

Beautiful pictures of cormorant and kingfisher, Click and Alan respectively - very nice isolation against a soft background ()

We just had a rare visitor for our area - a Hudsonian Godwit juvenile.
Managed to get some nice pictures. (shot with a 7D and a Sigma 150-600 C.)

Beautiful picture, Alan.

I almost quit looking when I saw the term "mirrorslapper"!

The m-word is permissible only by those who appreciate them!

Stellar's Jay taken in Waterton Lakes National Park AB about 6 years ago with a 7D + EF 70-300mmL. I'm not really pleased with the picture but I thought I'd post it since I've only seen a Stellar's Jay once and this was it.

I'd say it's a stellar shot. I love the way the colours compliment. The birds a star model.
