Senna, what lens do you normally use for birding?

The lens is a bit slow in AF speed, but the dynamic range of the 1DMKIV is astounding. I can get clean detail out of areas that are 2 stops underexposed. The colour rendition kills the 5DMKII, but I guess that's a more personal opinion.

Really nice pictures Senna! Looks like the Sandhill is growing up nicely! Good to see. Did you buy the MKIV or still borrowing? Still would love to get my hands on one, one of these days. Keep up the shooting! I've got a couple to upload once i get home from work. A few different ones that i'm sure no one has seen

Yup, it's the company kit. I'm thinking of trading in my new 5DMKII for a 1DMKIV though, as the colour is just amazing out of the 1DMKIV.

Why not keep both, or wait for the IDs MkVI?

Great images lately, with alot of Sandhill's! Anything else going on there Jason? Great images, and looks like the youngin is growing up quickly! Thanks for posting!
Here is something different in the wild. It's the Rainbow Lorikeet. Obviously very colorful, and really cool to see in person! They are all over the place in the Gold Coast. Pic taken with 7D + 70-200 @ 2.8. It was getting darker, and should have stopped it down, anyways...

This thread has so many unbelievable photos in it. Wicked.
Sadly, my contributions are hardly mind-blowing... but, what the hell...  
Can anyone ID the bird in the second pic? (Sparrow? Swallow?)

I went up to Squamish today with my father for some quality time as they say lol.
I learned a valuable lesson... I want bigger lens
I heard these two chuckling right across the street from the Brackendale Dyke but I couldn't zoom in close enough. 
Then I saw this guy just walking along the side of the road in Ladner. 
Senna, I envy you so much as you have wicked equipment and awesome skill. Before I go back to Squamish in 3-5 weeks from now I guess I'll have to dish out the 500 for a 70-300mm VR

Really like that last shot Euro! Really nicely done! I wish i had more transportation to get myself around the outer parts of Melbourne.
One thing you will learn is that there is never enough focal length for birding. Just gotta work with what you have A great setup for birding that isn't crazy $$$ is the Sigma 50-500 OS i've seen some great shots taken with that lens. Take a look!

Thank you! I'll have to look into getting a longer lens. I followed three Eagles today. All over Deas Island and River Road. I finally got a decent bald eagle shot... Still not 100% happy with it but I'll take it. I was like 20-30 feet away I think? 
I really want a longer lens!! aaargh!
