I have a oppurtunity to take a photo of a Peregrine Falcon in the wild (in the city ). My vantage point will put me about 50 yards away. I have a 400 5.6. Should I use my 60D or my 5D3 ? I know I will have to crop the photo to get a close up view when finished.

At 150 feet you shouldn't have to crop much. Choice of cameras would have depend on quality of light you have. If you have IF I would choose your M3

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
