Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Nice photos! Whenever I see photos like this, I wonder if they're a result of a heavy crop, a massive lens, or being able to get fairly close to the bird. Can you let us know your secrets? :)

Thanks! The answer is ill of the above. 600mm lens on a APS-C camera 600 x 1.6 cropfactor = 960mm. 32.5 MP sensor 6960 x 4640 pixels cropped to around 1800 pixels wide 16:9 I think I was about 15 meters(~50 feet) from the bird
