I believe this is the Rocky Mountains variation based on the mostly white head.

Osprey

I used a 1.4X lens converter with my 100-400mm for 560mm. Hand held out the car window. The image stabilizer really works!!

Broad-tailed Hummingbird

Posted By Cal Sandfort

The feeder was in the shadows for this shot and I had to do more processing than I like to bring out any detail. The low light and processing caused the photo to be too grainy but it is the best I have done to date. Hummingbird shots are more difficult than I thought!! :-)

I wanted to give my 1.4 lens converter a test so I took a variety of photos at 560mm. All were handheld.

Although common, I liked this photo. Perhaps you will too. Another test of the 1.4 lens converter at 560mm.
