Thank you Chodachrome. My house has a lake in the back, with plenty of wild life. I have two cameras - a D750 and a D7000. I grab one of them when I saw something interesting.
These pictures were taken with Nikon D7000, lens is 55-300mm. I shoot with Manual and auto ISO. For the exact settings you can check the EXIF data from the photos.
I am by no means an expert. And the equipment not great. I had good luck today:
- it was cloudy this afternoon so the color came out good
- the birds were standing relatively still, and don't mind me getting very very close
Just a couple of points:
- high f stop to increase depth of field. I think mine is F9 or F10.
- since they were still I use low speed (around 1/250)
- as much as possible focus on the eyes

Incredible focus and so clear. Love them. Could I ask your settings? I have managed what I feel to be some great bird shots, but so often times I just seem to have difficulty getting focus sharp and where it needs to be. What body and lense do you shoot with on these type shots? Thank you dylee8!!

Thanks Annie. Here in Southern Florida they are more common. Especially starting November. These ones have been regular visitors to my backyard for the last month.

Three Sandhill Cranes in the backyard grooming, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Not overly concerned with a lingering photographer.

As mentioned by others here, FF lenses are heavier and more expensive. Due to the fact that there are glass portions not used by Crop sensor, translated into additional money and weight.
The one (and possibly only) reason I can think of is if you are seriously thinking of upgrading to a full frame in the future. When I go from DX (D7000) to FX (D750), my DX lenses were not very usable for FX, and I need to make a hefty one time investment for both body and lenses. Building up a FX lens collection in advance is a good idea.
If you decide to buy a FX lens, be sure to test it out on a FX camera. There could be blemishes on the lens not visible to DX.
