Show your Bird Portraits

They are lovely sharp shots with glorious colour. And taken with a camera and lens that weigh together only the same give or take a few grams as a Z9 without a lens.
The colour really improved when there was the Canon profile available in LR. I use "camera original" and don't edit any colour setups. I was never completely happy before that (Adobe profiles). And fortunately the lens profile was available just when I needed it. This was a nice surprise.

Our next station was Celestun, which is by the sea on the north side of Yucatan (Gulf of Mexico).
The day was overcast. Mostly no good light. There were even more birds than on any other place of our trip. And we've seen birds here, which we haven't on any other place in Yucatan. I start with the more common ones.
(If I post too much, please let me know!)
All R5 + RF 100-400

You can never post too much! Keep it coming :cool:

P.S By the way the one with the red neck seems like it has a towel in its neck and it's ready to eat :ROFLMAO:

It's a male Frigate Bird. It blows up that red bib like a balloon. I never got a good shot of them on the ground, but this one (a Great Frigate bird) shows it.

There was a tree where we stayed in Bacalar, which was frequently visited by small birds.
I'm hopelessly lost when trying to ID the birds. My guess is some kind if swallow, kiskadee for the yellow one and some kind of woodpecker for the one with the red head.
All with R5 + RF 100-400

:ROFLMAO: - I think I got your message but I'm in "vacation" right now... Unfortunately we are under very strong pressure from the Omicron variant now (more than 1500 new cases just today! up from 26-50 just two weeks ago - for less than 2mln population)! And the worst - my wife somehow managed to get it... I'm so far clear (two tests). I see Alan already took most of the job!!!
I came today just to say "Marry Christmas" to the forum!
