Thats it. I changed the option from the default to 50 posts per page, and now I'm only at 300 pages for the bird portrait thread.

My neighbor's bird feeder has a wooden (I guess) bird on top. Here is joined by a friend(?).

No new postings for 4 days! I wouldn't normally post a mallard but it's just to point out my new lightweight combo - the M5 + Tamron 100-400mm. It weighs nearly 2lb (850g) less than the 100-400mm II on 5DSR. I think the Tamron performs better than the Canon lens on the M5. The combo will be perfect for my wife on our next trip, though she has done very well with Canon lens on the 5DSR.

Nice mallard, Alan. I like the reflection.

Took my new 6Dii out today with my 100-400L Mki, very happy with the result.

Very nice shots, 7DmkI.

Very nice shots, 7DmkI.

You have every reason to be happy. I loved my 6D during the 3+ years I used it and its IQ was not far behind the 1DX and now you've got more MP for cropping.

Here are a few shots from the other day. It was my first time ever seeing a Snowy owl, or a short ear owl in person. Unfortunately both were plenty far away for my 1dx, and Sigma 150-600C. A lot of cropping on both shots. Below are two images of a Sandhill crane, and Juvenile sandhill crane.

Hi Jack,

Since I am coming from 7Di, apart from more MP, I can crank up ISO a lot, too!

 

[Jack Douglas]

Ryananthony, with a little patience I expect you're going to have some super shots in the future!

Nice series, Ryan.

Nothing fancy...but I haven't been out for a while. Getting some extremely pleasant weather so went into the back yard. This Downy Woodpeck paid me a visit.

Here are a few Snowy Owl images from the Friday afternoon. Lighting was perfect and owls were posing, just before sunset! 7D mkii / 500 f4 / 1.4xiii

The fog lifted a little and I managed to get out to snap a few shots today. Caught a hawk early on, and an eagle that was curiously looking down on at me that I thought I'd share.

Will need to split it into two posts to fit attachment size. Here's the hawk, photographed with an 80D+Sigma 150-600 on a tripod -

And the eagle I ran into - taken handheld with a 6D Mark II + 100-400LII.
