I've started fooling with the 1DX2 4K60 movie capability for some birds in the yard. Anyone that can give me a quick how to on grabbing a frame?

Cog, do you have any A T sparrow shots of similar quality that would help me differentiate?

Jack

I just posted one on the previous page. Here's another one from the same series, but I guess that all ATS that I have:

Sorry!! I didn't pay close enough attention. I will now try to solidify my understanding of the differences.

Thanks

I don't think these dunlin had encountered humans before as they allowed me to get very close.

A few taken with M5 + EF70-300 f/4-5.6 IS II USM and processed with DPP4. This zoom is a nice compromise between the EFM 55-200 and the EF 100-400L.

I need help again with ID. I have Stokes and also Sparrows of US and C but I'm not good visually with memory flipping through candidates.

Saw a Yellow warbler by my pond yesterday, in fact there were many.

Nice pictures, Jack.

For the bird's ID, it looks like a Song Sparrow to me.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks click. Now that I've looked through the sample photos, I won't say you're wrong but I'd have a tough time with this. Can you suggest why?

There is a variety of regional differences that this bird shows across North America. With your picture, it's very difficult to get enough detail for a positive ID.

OK, here's one for you.

So, the waxwing watches and decides to bath. He has the whole pond but no, he has to chase the sparrow out of that spot! Now the sparrow gets to watch.
