I shot BIF and stills there many times while living in So. Ca. Always something unexpected appears at BC NWR. When wanting BIF, I'd find stills, or vise versa. Early mornings and late afternoons were the best times to capture bird life. Mid day usually little or no activity. But, that can always change from day to day. Best advice... Camera, long lens, fast shutter speed, manual exposure, and be there.

Your keeper rate was 2.5% (.025).
With film, quite costly.
Digital, no problem. Free!

Beautiful capture of that BIF and worth the entire effort.

$500 is going to be tough. Unless you plan to hand hold and rely on optical stabilization, you'll need to budget for a decent tripod and head. For birds, you'll want good autofocus.

This might work and at $460 buy it now price it's within your budget:

I took a lot of pictures with mine on a 10 mp and later a 12 mp Nikon. My version was not stabilized but as you can see it was decently sharp. Shooting raw and careful post processing will help the images look better.

Excellent bird pics. Good gear counts, but It's always how well you use it more than camera brands and luring fads. PP technique helps a lot too. Your pics really deliver.
