Some of my favorite birds and a persistent pest. No matter how often they fail they never give up.

It’s nice to see a hummer with some wing blur. I find the shots of them with no motion kind of jarring and strange looking. I guess because we never see them in nature like that.

Refreshing, high quality variety set, Joe! Sony shines!
Thank you for sharing.
BTW squirrels never give up when they find where the food is. They can also jump from the fence to the feeder on the post - a long distance. To resolve the problem of competing with the birds, I feed them separately.
They are a part of our living environment, too.

Giving the credit to the camera? Those are nice shots but could have just as easily come from a Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, etc.

To a point, you might be right, Superfly.

BUT: If you get familiar with the Sony focusing system - like you have on Sony a7R IV, 62 megapixel mirrorless camera, you would have to wait some time to find a match?
Never the less, try to find one?
In spite of that, the tool either - may or may not make a difference, because only the image really is, what counts in photography. However, if I had a choice let us say between a simple screwdriver or a rachetted one, I would take the rachetted one. It is faster, more efficient.
Sony up to this time, makes the fastest focusing system.
Cheers!

Yeah, that’s a claim lots of manufacturers have made. The difference is incidental and the testing is done in limited conditions that don’t really equate to how people actually shoot. I’ll put my D500 up against it anytime.

Squirrel baffles properly positioned and feeders posts correctly spaced solve the problem for me.

I don't believe the quick reviews on YouTube either. It takes considerable time to understand, tune and adapt a new camera.

I have owned the D500 and used it for several years. Although it was good for its time, it doesn't compare to the A7R4. If you haven't given it a through try you don't know. I have used this Sony for just short of a year.

The autofocus on new Sony cameras are the best in their class for now.

Very nice shots, Joe. I didn’t put my feeders out this morning and later I found a squirrel climbing the screen on the back porch. There no food there but he was trying to figure out where it was. I went ahead and put food out to be safe.

Nice set Joe. Those persistent pests can be entertaining and fun to watch at times though.

This clip is over 20 minutes long but very entertaining. You’ll gain a lot of respect for squirrels.
