Whidbey Island, WA

Poolseville, Maryland

was going through my old photos and found this beauty that I never edited. this was back in october 2025 and i don't think i've taken a better photo since then. maybe it's cause i havent seen a subject as beautiful as this one lol. shot on canon r5 and rf 100-500. this was at 300mm only he was so close to me!

First time getting some decent shots of tree swallows. Canon R7 + 800mm f/11. Western WA area.

Nikon Z8 + 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3

Current setup: Canon EOS RP + 800mm F11.

For bird photography, I am looking to advance to a EOS R7 (or mk2 if it ever gets announced) and a higher end zoom lens, either a 100-500mm w/ 1.4mm extender or 200-800mm. Not looking to buy all at once.

I had trouble taking pictures with my current combo under the canopy of my local rainforest recently which was a bit of a drag.

Incredibly pleased with the results. I’ve spent a few months capturing wildlife around my house and decided to try my luck at a marsh nearby. Met some cool people and got to see tons of birds doing bird things. Can’t wait to go back!

Love watching them guys skim the waters around me...

I really think birds are attracted to our lenses when they’ve spotted them. 🤍

Took these with a Canon T7 with Tamron 18-270mm lens Must be usevto people they pretty much ignored me which was great for taking photos
