I hear the same thing from many folks I take out on bird walks, except real ones have a low pitched, descending coo coo coo, not beep! beep!I always thought it existed only in cartoons, until I saw one in Mojave if I remember well.

Beautiful!
Topaz has four upscaling modes or algorithms I'm not sure the correct terminology. Which did you use?

Just the commons from my very short walk in the park today...
Once I finished with the Red-crested Cardinal I noticed someone sitting on "my bench". And my backpack was still there! The immature Saffron Finches don't obviously understand the "rule of privacy"!

No problem - here's a choice of two blurred backgrounds for you. Actually, I'm deadly serious here: we currently manipulate background using lens aperture as an analog tool, but just as mobile phones blur background digitally (as does Zoom if you want) for portraits, so digital methods will increasingly do the same for traditional photography obviating the need for wide lenses for those who want. The field blur in the bottom image pretty closely mimicks the one I had at 1600mm and nicer than the shorter focal lengths with the 200-800mm.I far prefer the background obtained with the 200-800, yet, the owl is really cute!

The RF 200-800mm is a real behemoth - compare it on the R5 with the RF 100-400mm on the R7. By chance I got two near identical shots of a Great Tit on my feeder with them - about 2000mp x 2000mpx crops below - with the R5 @ 742mm at the bottom. The R7/400mm isn't quite as good but it is nearly there. If I go out for a walk, I know which is the easier to carry and aim.

We would have been urged to stop reading Science FictionIf, in our Kodachrome days, we could have imagined all the possibilities and options we now have...

I Shot the Sheriff, but I Did Not Shoot the Deputy
The month of February has brought warmer temperatures and the ever-welcome sound of birds and a reminder that spring is coming to our area (midwest USA), including:
*northern mockingbird (at dusk; the winter sun orientation is needed to get this magic hour shot at this particular location)
*northern cardinal
*some type of sparrow?
*American robin
*male downy woodpecker (2)
All 5DMkIII and 100-400II/1.4III

Thanks Click!Nice series, ISv.
One more from today: bad weather I actually was more concentrated on the walk, occasionally looking for birds. This one (Red-vented bulbul) came when I was sitting on a bench for short rest and it came pretty close! It's posture is telling something about the weather (and I think my posture on the bench was very similar
).
