Three From Yesterday

[Jim Sanderson]

Was out at the local refuge yesterday morning. The migratory birds (geese and cranes) have for the most part left. Plenty of the small birds around with the shore birds due in more numbers in a couple of weeks. Three from yesterday......

Really nice details in all three of these shots. Love the open mouth of the red-wing blackbird.

Great set, and I really like the RWB

Wow! How did you get so close Jim? These are awesome, such great detail in all 3. No favorites, I like them all.

Thanks Jim, used a Sony a7riv in crop mode with a 600+1.4 converter. Gets you pretty close to the birds. Then a close in crop and Topaz Gigapixel to enlarge the result. Nice time a year is at hand. Love the spring for the shore birds and little birds.

It’s a fantastic time of the year for watching migrating birds returning to their nesting sites. Nice set of images Jim.

Thanks all for the comments. I’m really liking the Sony a7riv/600 f/4 GM combination. Both the 1.4 and 2X converters work well too.
