.... extremely sharp lens. You can see the whiskers around the beak.

Thanks, I pre-focus an area i expect the bird to fly. I have a decent recipe after 5 years of doing this.

Yes, the birds are agressive to eat early morning to my photographic benefit. They will actually try to knock each other from the feeder which leads to these types of captures.

Excellent capture from a bird’s eye view

Practice makes perfect. I think this is the best shot I have seen from you

Thanks. I would agree. I found that by setting the Oly to continuous anti shock the pics have better resolutiom than using the electronic shutter at 60 fps. I'll continue my testing to see if a slower electronic shutter speed can render as good.

The IRIX 150MM and/or the EM1 II leave no question each can get a professional level job done.
