Thanks Markus, I agree. Good luck with your songbird set-ups!

Hi Geurt, Just a brain typo; should have been the 400mm f/4 IS DO. And thanks for your kind words.

Artie,
In the BAA #319, the technical data for image of the barred Owl mentioned a Canon 840 f4 DO. Is this a typing error or is it possible that Canon has a new lens that you test?

Thank also for your absolute unselfish sharing of bird photography information. I am a staunch “Artie” follower.

Cheers
Geurt

Thanks, Artie!

BTW: I just finished Alan’s e-book on Songbird Photography. This is just so good!!!!!
I don’t know of anything similar or even remotely as good as Alan’s e-book.

I will try a lot of his stuff during spring and summer!

Thanks Markus, Both were with the central sensor only. With the 7D, I like the center point with the ellipses around it.

Even stranger, they lay a single egg on a bare branch.

Be patient: the connection here is very slow! And my new group just arrived.

Those are three beautiful shot. I especially like the two flight shots. It is amazing how long and narrow the wings of the albatrosses are.
In the 2nd shot I like the visible ocean and beach.

Did you use the central AF sensor only for this shot or more?
I am currently testing the AF of the 7D with either the central sensor alone, the central sensor with the surrounding 4 sensors or the Zone AF with the central 9 sensors and found that all deliver a good rate of keepers.

The white terns are such beautiful birds. I would have expected to see these on a beach. The perch makes them look even more exotic.

I can’t wait for more pictures. I am envious.
