Cog, did you finished (for now - I really want more!) with your series?
I was waiting for the last one: great shots as usually! And BTW no matter what system you did use (Canon or Sony, you proved you handle both with great success!) - in all cases they are superior... What makes me thinking (again!) that the person behind the camera is of more importance than the system in front of him/her!
Thank you, ISv! I guess I'm done for now. It was a short birding photo trip to Florida, and I wanted to share good and characteristic examples of Florida birds. I have more pics, and you can just check out my Flickr account (the Florida 2024 album) for more:

I think the person behind the camera is important as they decide when to press the shutter button. But sometimes the equipment does matter, too. For example, I really struggled with my slow 200-600 lens because it's only F/6.3. It was OK on a sunny day, but when I went to shoot osprey hunting on a lake early in the morning, the sky was overcast for several days, and as a result my ISO was too high. Noise can be removed easily now, but too much noise kills the detail on the picture. I wish I could have F/4 for such occasions. But again, it was the first time I traveled with my telephoto lens, and I thought that versatility of a zoom should be more important in most situations than a faster lens in a few occasions.
