Ya, so sad....
Kathleen, the manager at Reifel told me that the necropsy revealed a massive infection in the yolk sac - baby birds still have an internal yolk sac for a few days after hatching. This was not an infection from existing bacteria, but an environmental contaminant. Poor thing.

ok, new camera.
7D was a fail, worst out of the cameras i've owned for birding. not including the 5D2(not a birding camera) i had.
the 1D2N,1D3,and 5D3 were betterer. (well, close with the 1D2N)
i was not impressed at all with the AF tracking with the 7D. ISO topped out around 800 too, which is low-ish now days. IQ was pretty damn good other wise, but i expected more.

so i took my new camera for a spin this morning out at Iona, and what do i see? something very unusual, a Greater Egret: 
i was super stoked with the AF tracking. that servo is fast and locked on to wherever i pointed it to:  
A Spotted Sandpiper, my favourite of the day: 
i didn't see too many Yellow-Headed Blackbirds, pretty much the best i could do: 
however, while i was concentrating on the YHBB in the north pond, i heard a sploosh behind me and an Osprey was coming right at me, and veered away. i was too close and not ready, but the 1D4 pulled through:

Sick man! So, 1D MK4 vs. 5D MKIII vs 7D for birding? My 7D sucks at BIF, or in general sometimes on things that don't move more than 5 MPH.
