These are photos taken hand held or with a monopod with the zoom fully extended i.e. 1300mm (all birds being far away). The pictures were processed with PS CC primarily for printing on a Super B format and secondarily reduced in size for the web. They are comparable in quality with what I did with my usual gear (Canon 7DII with Tamron 150-600 and 1.4x extender on monopod).
Nice set.
The birds were Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Hooded Mergansers and N Pintail.
