    Bird I.D.

    FYI, the Yellow-headed Blackbird is in the same family as the north american Orioles, Icteridae.

     

    This bird is definitely a Yellow-headed Blackbird. They're plentiful in the central valley especially marshy areas like the Yolo Bypass wildlife area. They also breed in the Sierra Valley, north of Truckee.

    FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS - First Impression

    Very nice. It feels like your "cheating" doesn't it? I'm impressed that you got those diver-duck pix with the a7RIII. I try to use my a9 in that situation, but I'm sometimes tempted to fight with the a7RIII AF to get that stunning resolution. Resolution is very good with the a9, but the a7RIII just knocks me off my chair. Tempted to get myself an a7RIV for Christmas, but the huger files is a bit of a concern.

     

    It certainly opens up more options. Not thrilled with the size & weight or the attention it attracts, but definitely a very useful tool. And I do like the a7rIII's pixel density!
