Here we have Canadian geese, mallards and a bald eagle chasing them. All shot last weekend. EOS-R + Sigma 60-600.
EOS-R with the new firmware 1.6 is more responsive, which is quite good news.

Very nice series.

Just an eagle on the wind. Very fortunate to have eagles by the bushel up here. We were out two days ago and I stopped counting at 40... Unfortunately light was horrible and the sky was a blank, harsh, glaring, Washington haze-gray.

This one is from November when I was using the 7D2. Since I went full frame she hasn't seen much action and I was feeling a bit guilty.

Few more from the weekend: Black-crowned Night-heron, Sooty Tern and the usual Red-footed Boobies... Very salty conditions: rather big waves and strong wind blowing from the ocean. Everything gets covered by salt in ~45-60 minutes. I will go there when it is calmer!

A few shots from the long weekend.
Canadian Geese chasing each other and two white swans seem exhausted and skinny after long migratory flight.

Nice! The tree lost few needles (look for good example in the left corner) but didn't brake !

So, one for fun.

Always looking for new ways to show sequence shots (please share yours) and started doing this type thing when the sequence permits. This one came out nice I thought. In the Cormorant theme from the Bird Portraits thread today. I obviously had to shrink it to make it an acceptable upload size and the quality suffered a bit but still decent.

A bald eagle against blue sky from last weekend.
EOS-R + Sigma 60-600mm. I am quite happy with R's focus acquisition, but EVF is still a tad lagging.

Great shot, bhf3737
