Here's one for superslickie!

I took this with my new Canon R7 mirrorless in poor light after sunset. I was pushing the ISO at 6400 but ended up getting the shot with some decent clarity and detail. Loving the new camera body! Excuse the blurred alders in the foreground - some things can't be avoided lol!

Was your avi a pic taken by you? Love wood ducks. Have some around here every spring. Last spring had them trying to take over a pilated woodpecker home in a pine tree lol. They make the strangest wheezing sounds

I know nothing of cameras, Rob. I am very curious to know how far away the shots are when you take them? There is so much detail in them!

Very nice capture indeed , I'm not much into picture taking except on my phone or on my Barrel Camera , Go pro or by trail cams . Not into the tech side of it , your photos are superb and a absolute joy to view . Great work once again

Every shoot is different of course but generally I’m within 30 yards of my subjects. I’ll start snapping away at greater distances (generally not happy with the images) and slowly close the gap with careful stalking. Ideally, my subject will fill the frame but that doesn’t happen most of the time.

Yes, that was one of my best wood duck shots! They’re very interesting ducks and my favourite to photograph.

Wow, no wonder you need good quality equipment!

We're very fortunate to have a flock of about 15 evening grosbeaks tending the feeder this winter! Here's one of the males. My new Canon R7 auto focus with animal detection and eye detection is INSANE!

It is unreal stop posting these on your site or where she sees them or the mrs will be costing me money again ;) But I will be honest I thought they would be insane priced and not bad at all compared to when I bought her the 5D but I bought the new 400 2 or what ever was called also at the same time so and nice to hear there is an adapter so the old L series can be still used Some say the adapter effects the quality well I sure cannot see that problem in your pics Nice work

If I ever end up with the RF 100-500, I’ll let you know. For the time being, I’m happy with the adapter and my EF 100-400 II.

A couple of close-ups of some other yard birds. The first is a white-breasted huthatch. These are almost impossible to photograph as they never sit still for more than a fraction of a second. You have to frame the shot, acquire focus and release the shutter (all perfectly) in that miniscule amount of time. The second is a downy woodpecker. These are very tight crops and I'm amazed with the focus accuracy and amount of detail in each shot! The move to the new mirrorless R7 provided a bump in megapixels from 20MP to 32.5MP plus additional image stabilization...
