This has been a good year for snowy owls in the Northeast. I caught this beauty a few days ago near sunset. I purposely moved so the wind was at my back and hoped it would take off toward me. (Too often, I only get side shorts of snowy owls.) I was pretty happy with the outcome.

That is funny!! Thanks for sharing. I haven’t observed that behavior yet.
For new BIF, these are good. To improve, I suggest the following
Up the ISO to get faster shutter speed. Much too slow
Composition wise, for the first, have the bird flu parallel or preferably towards you. Much more inviting. For the second, try and watch the background. I find the dark and then bright splitting of the bird distracting.

I have both the Sony RX10m4 and the Olympus e1m3. I wouldn’t buy a bridge when the Olympus is available.
Just for reference - For birding, unless light is bright, I use the Olympus. It wins hands down for responsiveness (especially turning on or “waking”) and for it’s low light ability compared to Sony. And if I use Denoise, for most things, I can’t tell the difference with my canon R6 for the pictures I need.
Sony is great for traveling and still objects in the right light and/or with a tripod. In low light, try Topaz Denoise on your Sony pictures. It can make a huge difference.
If your shoot raw, try Topaz denoise AI. Works on jpg too but not as well. You should be able to download a trial. Might buy enough time while you figure out what you really need.
You can buy my used canon 7dm2. PM me if interested.
