Great shot Jack Douglas!

I did also photograph woodpeckers with my 6D about two weeks ago. Compared to my 7D Mark II it took me a while to figure out that the center focus point covers a greater area than I looks like in the viewfinder and after I got used to that I started getting the birds in focus opposed to the branches being in focus.

I took this shot of a great spotted woodpecker with 6D + 400mm f/5.6 L USM

Gorgeous weather up here in Alberta and I'm house bound. Renos are the pits because every activity leads to another unrelated and all the activities damages other items ..... ugh.

Here is another shot. ISO 2000 640th F6.3 300 X2 6D all focus points because I was anticipating a flight shot, so maybe a touch front focused but if it's hazy I don't know what's up.

Very nice picture, Jack. Well done.

Very nice! Judging from your reflections in its eyes, you must have been close - how close?

Thanks Corydoras and Click. Corydoras that's a lovely shot of a lovely bird. More great shots being posted by everyone. Got me wondering how many different birds exist in the world, quite amazing!

Thanks Jack! To my knowledge there are about 9000 species of birds and that doesn't eaven have the number of subspecies count in!

I think this may be my first post in this forum, so here is a small blue heron I shot at Ding Darling.

Just spent 24 hours in San Francisco and now enjoying a 4h 20min delay in SFO for the next flight. Managed to get a couple of shots in the rooftop garden of the Fairmont. By coincidence, one was of a white-crowned sparrow, a species we don't see back home. It is quite a singer, unlike the European sparrows.

Alan, I often lament that one of my distant relatives brought the "English" sparrow to Canada, a rather despised bird. I know, shame on me for saying that.

A real beauty isn't she!

Here's one from this morning, company for yours.

Had this sharp shinned hawk visit today and unfortunately for the downy woodpecker that had been visiting our feeder regularly, it became the hawks' supper. Amazingly, the hawk ate the whole bird - feathers, legs, and everything.
