Great egret

Wren with insects, looks recently fledged. Wasn't expecting it and had to push through 3-stops as it was in the dark and I was taking shots of flying dragonflies with the 100-400mm II on the R5. Upscaled 2x.

Lovely shot. Nicely done, Alan.

Thanks. And yours is lovely. The view from a kayak works so well for these waders.

A "great" egret indeed...lovely photo, those splashes of purple and the reflection are subtle but they really make the image memorable. "Great" job.

I have something for you.
Come a little closer."

"Come closer ... closer ..."

"I now pronounce you ...
... Mourning Dove!"

Two more Rail Common Gallinule pictures with the Eos R. Both with a Sigme 105 Macro and 1,4 TC (147 f/4).
The first 1/1600, Iso 1600, f/7.1, the second 1/2500, Iso 800, f/4.

And yes, I got wet hands!

Edit:
I have changed the name of the birds (and got some technical problems)
