After my trip to the pond last week, and then posting the pics using an old 75-300mm Sony APS-C kit lens with converter, I decided to up my game a bit with a better quality lens. Here is the result from this afternoon:
ISO 800 ~ f/6.3 ~ 1/320 sec ~ 400mm
ISO 100 ~ f/6.3 ~ 1/640 sec ~ 400mm
ISO 400 ~ f/6.3 ~ 1/320 sec ~ 400mm
ISO 400 ~ f/6.3 ~ 1/320 sec ~ 400mm
ISO 100 ~ f/6.3 ~ 1/640 sec ~ 400mm
The top bird is a Red winged blackbird-female. Beautiful photos.
I know very little about bird species, just loving taking photos of them. Thanks
If you hang around here odds are that you will learn a few bird names, while we all get to enjoy your photos!
Looking forward to that.
The Show Me A Photo (SMaP) contest hosted by @nelinoeva and @oks2crypto provides a fun challenge each week. This week we are challenged to find a photo of birds with food. https://ecency.com/hive-106444/@nelinoeva/feathered-friends-show-me-a-90945945f7a8a. And posts that include a minimum of 3 photos and at least 200 words have the possibility of receiving an OCD curation nomination.
Nice Red-winged blackbird, what's the top bird?
Actually, I have no idea. Thanks @bluefinstudios

Very nice photos! I want to get this lens as well for birding!
Yeah, its a pretty nifty lens, and not astronomically priced.
What a stunning shot! You really caught his eyes. Nicely done!
Thanks Denise.
It's always a pleasure! You sure are having fun with the new toys.
Lovely birds!
Thanks
Terrific shots, Dave. Very sharp... I bet you're pretty happy with that lens!
I always figured that It would be too expensive to get a decent zoom lens, until I looked into the Sigma, and was suprised at the relatively low price point. Thanks
