A striated heron climbing the rope in the port.
R5 (FF mode) + 100-400 II + 1.4x III
R5 (1.6x crop mode) + 100-400 II + 1.4x III
The image was a bit more degraded when I used both crop mode and an extender. But I like the result anyway.

The migrants here are gradually getting in breeding plumage (actually the Rudy Turnstone is almost complete!). For the Pacific Golden Plower it's mixed - many of them are still in non-breeding and so far I haven't seen any in complete breeding plumage.

Are you sure that it was Downy WP? The beak is a bit too long... And I have never seen a tail so colorful, that is an excellent light capture! May be even a hybrid!? Puzzling...

You are right. I guess it is a Hairy Woodpecker, then. Thanks for pointing that out.

Sorry that I haven't posted anything recently. The notices to me for this thread seem to stop after a while and I lose track of it.
Still hunkering down at home, I wanted to get better photos than through my upper-floor window glass of birds, so I made an under-window panel with 2 sliding doors for it. I also made one for the lower floor so I could let my cat, Ollie, go in & out. Here's the upper panel installed and Ollie wanting to go out onto the window ledge to overlook the birds:
Now, I can get a clear shot of the birds. All (unless noted) are taken with R5 & RF 100-500 f4.5-7.1L.
I'm not a bird expert, so does anyone know what this one is?
* EDIT * : ISv was kind enough to say this looks like a Carolina Wren. It sure looks that way to me, too (thanks!).
Here's a couple male Northern Cardinals:

Looks like Carolina Wren to me... The House Wren has shorter tail and the whitish "brow" (or supercilium if you wish) is not that pronounced.
