Birds First time out with the new R6MII

Looks like you've learned plenty about it! Those are beautiful, spot on shots! I love my R6, but the MII looks even better.

Thanks. Still fumbling a little with the buttons. I set up the two back buttons as many have suggested (AF-On with spot focus and the star button for eye detect), but I am still having a little trouble finding the star button without looking--need more practice.

You know what the remedy for the fumbling is? More shooting!! Enjoy, looking forward to seeing more.
 
Outstanding images. Looks like you have it figured out pretty well!

Try setting the shutter button to spot focus and the Af-on to eye detect. Once you have acquired the target with the spot focus hit the back button and it takes over....or just try the back button and then take the shots with the shutter button.
 
All wonderful shots.
