Great to see these two cousins out for a casual stroll together. Nice capture.

Very cool capture, Jimmy! You've gotten some really nice shots of the hoodies lately!

Lovely capture, fotoi! Very heartening shot!

Many thanks, Mike!
Nice having a bit more reach for this shy species.

With 3 good DSLR's I am going to wait for the R7, if it ever comes out, at least at this time. I really need the 1.6 factor on the 90D, sure it has shortcomings (wish it had the 7DII AF system) but I can work with it.
Here is a shot from yesterday, it isn't the greatest but it shows what I can do with a severe crop on an average shot.

Taken at the pond I set up at and at about 150 yards, typical distance but many are further.
processed in LR cropped and then run through AI gigapixel and then AI Denoise, I will try it without cropping first but crop after. It is not as good as if I could have gotten closer but the Mergansers didn't listen to me.

I might not always be right, but I am never wrong! Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken!

Here's a pair, even if they don't like each other...

(I think) they are a North American Flicker and a Stellars Jay (aka, Blue Jay).

Mostly using Canon bodies with lots of different lenses and flash.
