I did a photo trip to Bosque del Apache WLR in New Mexico last month. It gave me a chance to really test the RF 200-800mm lens.

Beautiful shots. Well done, Chrisinhouston.

Going a bit nuts with different threads and eagle...but I figure I am with the right crowd for that.

Happy New Year everyone!

That eagle on the bare branch in the rain looks HUNGRY.

Meadow Pipit. First bright day for a while, and I felt confident enough to go on a longer cycle ride with the R5ii + RF 200-800mm over my shoulder.

Managed my first longer walk - 2 miles with the 200-800mm over my shoulder. Overcast day but rewarded by a Fieldfare, quite a distance away.

Happy to hear you getting out and walking more and more.

Adorable flying balls
Thanks for posting, northern hemisphere needs colour in this time of the year.

I glanced at my backyard feeder and there was not any activity. I noticed something in one of the trees to the side....



Due to its size, I am thinking this is a Sharp-Shinned Hawk and not a Cooper's hawk. But, if someone wants to correct me, that is fine.

Either way...total buzz kill. Not a bird at my feeder until after it flew off.

AFAIK size is about the only noticeable difference. This guy was almost for sure a sharp shinned hawk and very small as you can see from the backdrop (the block is 8 in high). The Coopers hawks around here are much larger, but I suspect a small individual would be hard to distinguish from a large sharp shinned.
