They back great memories of my seeing them on foreign trips. They may be common for you, but for me they are a treat. Keep posting - thanks!

I had to concentrate on this for at least half a minute before I was finally able to see it as an outside corner.A male Red-bellied Woodpecker trying to crack an acorn on my chimney. (plus an interesting optical illusion) Is it in my chimney or on the outside. Give it a few secondsView attachment 194168
I like the way they are looking at each other, though their thoughts probably differ.One of the local Osprey nabbed a pretty nice fish, a Yellowfin Croaker(I think), and brought it back to a nearby post. Sadly I didn't even see it catch the fish and just happened to hear the ruckus as it landed.
R5 600 II w/1.4X III 1/2500 : f/8 : ISO 1000
Rainbow Eucalyptus - the bark actually has more colors but that bird was siting on growing in shade stems.Nice shot ISv . The bird is nice but the bark on the tree is amazing.
It's the angle of the beak.Very nice close-up. I especially like the second one.
Wow, was the camera actually tracking the eye in the last shot? I'm also wondering about the 100-500, so hurry up and buy it and start reporting!!It was pointed out by a forum member in the discussion about the new f/11 lenses that they are meant for filling the frame and not for deep cropping. But, it's nice if you can do better than that. Yesterday was really bright for the winter here and I managed to capture some shots of European Goldfinches about 20m away using the 400 DO at 800mm. These are severe crops of the centre of the R5 sensor with the little bird in the first being less than 1000px long and the next two only about 600px. The really fine detail isn't there because there are not enough pixels to resolve them but the acutance is OK. I am really pleased with the performance of the prime lens but I hope I can get a 100-500mm for lightness.
