There was no sign of any migratory ducks or mergansers, at my local wetland ( have gone through, I'm sure), so just some grackles for to-day. ( One coyote, but he or she, didn't cooperate for a photograph). I thought I would try my DSLR system, with the ten year old lens, for a change. Still very satisfactory equipment, but perhaps some advantages with the mirrorless system. Regardless, nice to be out, looking for birds.

Excellent image. Canon 90D is a great camera, I don't know anything about the lens.

As you say Paul, it still gets the job done. I sold my D7200 and G 160-600 to a local 18 year old who was desperate to get a start in bird photography. It should be a great way to learn until he gets experience and money to upgrade. Love the irradiance you captured here.

You caught the essence of grackle-ness. ;). Lovely shot- nice image quality. Great to be out in the spring!
