I am amazed at how much trouble you are going through to try to convince me that the mirrorless are as good for BIF. "Frame rate is 10fps" Oh BTW you can't use the viewfinder when doing that! Are you kidding me? so you use a gun sight? I really don't care what you use to take photographs, and Yes I have spent a fortune (that many don't have available in their budgets) to achieve success in bird photography. If you have budgetary restraints then do the best you can with what you can afford.

I have one more suggestion. I plan on going back to Bosque del Apache in NM again in early December, which is a fab place for BIF. Plan to meet me there and let's shoot together. I know where to stay and where to shoot and at what time of day. Maybe you can show me that I am wrong and you get great photos; I'll guarantee that I'll get hundreds of great shots. Maybe we'll both learn something. BTW, no charge for showing you around, and maybe some of the other hoggers would like to join us, and learn the ropes at a really neat place.
That way we get rid of all the opinions that have been shared and see some results. If you are interested in this send me a PM and we'll figure out dates, etc.

Or you can join Doug Brown for his Bosque workshop for about $800 (worth it for sure) or join Art Morris's workshop for a lot more. Bill
