Very nice Mike with the nest at eye level. How'd you manage that?

Geez Shalu...That's unbelievable!! I so much enjoy seeing you images every day. Well, I ordered the Canon EOS R5, Shalu. Hopefully I'll see a little improvement in my overall image quality. I've been wanting to go mirrorless for a long time, and I think the time is here. I love the Sony a9, but I'm not willing to give up all my Canon lenses, and I dread going thru the learning curve. From everything I hear and have seen on videos, I believe the R5 will probable run pretty close to the a9.

What a beauty, Shalu!! Do you have any idea how large their established colony is where you were photographing?

Thank you very much, Mike! Canon R5 will be an amazing camera. I watched some youtube demos, it even got bird Eye AF in flight, which Sony does not even have :lol: We only see 1 or a pair of the northern red bishop here, but there is a small population in Southern California.

Amazing. A new one for me, never heard of it before.

Thank you, Ed. This is a native from Africa, we have a small population in California from former pet escapees.

The bird got in the way of the fish you were photographing? ;-)a

You got that right :lol: I was tracking the fish in the water, and all of a sudden it got snatched by the bird!  :p

Great shots. Do they eat the crab whole? Never knew that.

Thanks, they do eat the small ones whole, if larger they break them apart a bit.
