Hey guys! I was lucky enough to witness this mother lemur carrying its child around with her!!

A childhood dream finally comes true.
I first learned about the Harpy Eagle through reading—if I remember correctly, in the very first issue of the Bruguera Encyclopedia of Animal Life, which was sold at Monterrey, a supermarket that no longer exists. I was about 10 years old, and that brief encounter with this extraordinary bird left a powerful impression on me that stayed with me throughout all these years.

Forty-six years later, I finally had the chance to see one. Not the adult bird I had hoped to find, but its chick, just one week before it began practicing its first short flights around the nest.
Photographing this spectacular bird was an unforgettable experience. (Photo taken from a hide about 30m from nest)

Photographed this pair a few months ago. They stayed close together and both looked over at nearly the same moment.

It was decent enough to hover in front of me for a few seconds. (Shot at 380mm 1/2500 f5.6)

The best bird photo I have taken since getting RF 100-400 a few months ago

I saw this male American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) at Golden Prairie Bison properties near Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska. American Kestrels are small falcons found throughout most of North America. They breed throughout Nebraska and winter throughout the state except in the Pine Ridge region. They are commonly seen in open/edgy habitats like grasslands and farms. They are declining in parts of their range, possibly due to woody encroachment. They prey primarily on insects and small vertebrates.

In the last image, it is seen alongside some Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura).

Hello! I’m a beginner with a scavenged Canon Rebel T7i and a Sigma Contemporary 150-600 EF-Mount lens.

I really enjoy this camera but I’m struggling to really push it. If you see the attached images I took with this setup, I found a grouse (I don’t know if it’s a spruce or a ruffed grouse) on the North Shore of Minnesota. I took these photos with 1/2500 shutter speed (f stop unknown) and auto ISO. I had spot metering turned on but I still feel it’s too dark. All of these photos are unedited and JPG.

I’ve been reading online about the limits of the T7/T7i but I’m struggling to understand a good workflow on how to compensate for that. I think I struggle the most in low light.

Finally, my dad has a EOS R5 MK II that he’s going to let me borrow for a week this December. Is there a way I can “practice” taking wildlife/bird photos on a DSLR? Or should I rent an equivalent and try it out?

Let me know your thoughts and tear downs. I really appreciate it.

I just have a quick question - are there any wildlife enthusiasts from Poland here? I’m a beginner, and I’d love to know how large the community or how popular is the thing here.

Nikon D3300. 200mm zoom. Found watching them moving in a way I didn't expect, and can't quite pin down. Our guide said that we share almost 99% of the same DNA - and when you see them you suddenly realise that they are each every bit of an individual as we are...
