She’s a very proficient hunter/gather!

She certainly is. There's a caterpillar and two grasshoppers in there for sure, and some additional parts I can't quite nail down.

Lots of pieces and parts and whole ones too! I’ve never seen RWBBs do that before. She must think she’s an Atlantic Puffin.

Using the 36mm extension tube here too. Focus is a bit off but an example.

Cropped jpeg with a few exposure adjustments. EXIF say focus distance was 1.09m.

West Coast Lady

Got this gal while hiking at a local park. Shocked everyone - being so large and out in the open. One passerby exclaimed "Holy crap it looks like a monkey!" It was a funny outburst in the middle of a park in Ohio.

I shot 2 versions and posted in their respective threads:
#1 with the RF 600mm f/11 IS STM (uncropped full-frame, resized) and
#2 with RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM (cropped to 7047x4698 from full frame 8192x5464, resized)

These lenses provided exactly what I was looking for - a lightweight package for casual hiking (both lenses and the R5 fit in my Think Tank TurnStyle 20 v2 sling bag). I was actually carrying all this while shopping earlier in the day at a crowded mall (didn't want to leave it in a hot car unattended).

Rented a RF 100-400 for an upcoming vacation. Had to try it in the backyard to make sure it is working
