Based on the colors of beak and legs, I'd say little blue. Nice shots.

Thanks Stan, I think It's a Little Blue Heron too.
Happy trails.

Aug 12, 2021 17:22 | #3360 These from the Riparian in Gilbert? BlueTraveler wrote in post #19269467 Results of yesterday's a6400 BIF test... First, the above settings worked very well. We received much-needed rain in AZ in the past 3 weeks which raised the lake's water level, causing the Osprey to "fish" well away from the pier, but a few birds were kind enough to fly by my station. The a6400 and 200-600mm combo (at f/6.3) worked better than expected. The results were comparable to my a9 with 200-600mm and 1.4 TC (at f/9). I'd much rather shoot the a9 for several reasons, though. 1. The small, light form factor of the 6400 made keeping the bird in the frame difficult...as if the small camera and big lens combo was out of balance. 2. The location of the viewfinder didn't allow me to keep both eyes open to find and focus on the bird, making that process longer and causing me to miss some shots. This is a BIG deal to me. 3. For flight shots I like shooting at 20 fps which the a6400 can't match. Other notes... 1. The a6400's focusing is fast and accurate...right there with the a9. 2. I shot 100% manual (including ISO) because the metering systems of both cameras are unable compensate for fast moving birds crossing light and dark backgrounds as well as flying above and below the tree line. All my shots were about 1/3 stop over exposed. I shot 1/3200 at f/6.3 and ISO 800. I should have set the ISO to 640. 3. To get a similar equivalent focal length with my a9 I'd need to add a 1.4 teleconverter (which costs 1 full stop) and then double the ISO. 3. I don't use Lightroom's sharpening or noise reduction, preferring to run my raw images through Topaz AI Clear. It does a slightly better job than the built-in Lightroom tools. 4. LD asked why the Sony gurus say not to use tracking for BIF. The answer is that the only time to use tracking is if someone or something will temporarily block your moving subject. I've gotten better results since I started following that advice. 5. The 4th and 5th shots show the original and then the cropped version of an Osprey in the distance.  on Smugmug on Smugmug on Smugmug on Smugmughttps://photos.smugmug.com …i-3nRjRkM-X3.jpg&lb=1&s=A on Smugmug
