I love your pileated !!
I noticed that your ISO was at 800. A high ISO decreases quality.
I shoot Canon also and any time I go more than 400 I am not impressed with my shots.
Start at 100 and only increase it if you absolutely need to get enough light. So for your pileated, an ISO 100 with shutter set at about 620 or so, would have given you the same exposure without the distortion.
They are still good shots.
Thanks for your comment and the tip, BigBear. I'll keep it in mind.
