Last Fall, I bought the RF 100-500 and started taking pics of birds. It has been challenging to say the least, but I enjoy learning new things. I feel that I've made progress with static birds, though still a long way to go. Birds in flight, on the other hand, have eluded me. I just can't...
This Bald Eagle just returned from a fresh kill. You can get a good view of the blood on his head in this photo. This guy is apparently an aggressive hunter. You can see the battle scars on his beak.
This what we think is the male of the family looking around for its mate. Nurturing those eggs can be a chore. He would rather be out hunting. R7; 100-500 @ 500 cropped to 75% of original. Enlarge image to see details.
Not many birds to be found in Yellowstone this late in the year, but I see a pair of bald eagles in the Lamar Valley, and also stumbled upon a field with 100+ migrating sandhill cranes in nearby Pray, Montana.
All images shot with an R5 and a Sigma f/5-6.3 150-600mm lens, handheld.
