Definitely not a prize-winner for sure, but so far is the only bird shot I've been able to do all year, what with the COVID-19 restrictions (I could get a stiff fine by attempting to go to my usual birding spots). That being said, I guess that this is the baptism for my a6600: first bird photo on it. Based on shooting those gulls, I'd say performance is exactly where I'd want it to be!

Now I just got to find myself a duck pond somewhere that I could rock with this a6600. :twisted:

Thanks Mike--I am still getting used to the R5 capabilities. The R5 offers a lot of opportunities to shoot differently. Electronic shutter at 20 frames per second is what allowed me to capture this shot and at 900mm! Pretty cool--thank again-Mike!

These are both great captures, Rob! I love your shot of the jay. They've always been a favorite of mine...wish we had them out here where I live.

These guys are such neat looking birds, Richard. Nice capture! That stout looking bill can deliver quite a punch, I'd imagine. :-)

Very nice hen portrait, fotoi! Her hair style is unique...not like the other hen wood ducks. That usually is the result of some rough mating's.

Yet another White-throated Sparrow, birds which are notoriously difficult (for me at least) to photograph during the winter months but warm up along with the Spring weather. I do believe that they'll head north soon:

Both are beautifully shots, Matt! Carrying your daughter, strapped in front of you will teach her to learn the names of many of the birds you shoot, at an early age. :-)

Terrific shot of this white-winged dove, Tom! I do wish we had them here in California. That orange eye with the baby blue color around it, is very pretty.

These are two beautifully captured shots of the burrowing owl, Paul! The sharpness is excellent, and the background is great.

Nice hen wood duck capture, Mark! I like the lighting you were able to get.
