Related: About this forumOne of the birds on my feeder.
OMD EM5, 75-300 with electronic 2x. 1200mm equivalent on 35 format. I thought the built in 2x was a digital zoom but I find the image is still 16 mpxl! The cool thing is that at this magnification I can see the 5 axis image stabilization at work. The camera shake is really obvious until I do a focus lock and the IS kicks in and everything settles down! My E500 and E620 had IS as well but they were SLRs and I couldn't see what the sensor was doing. I did crop this down to about 10 mpxl for composition.

Or a Marsh Wren or Bewicks Wren. They all frequent this area.

The Bewicks and Marsh Wrens both have mostly white bellies, not the rust color. I love this photo that is so good it makes it easy to identify the bird.

(18,219 posts)5. I just spotted a Carolina Wren in my yard today too.
I was barely able to get a look at it with the binoculars, so a photo was out of the question.
Are you feeding them walnuts?

The nuts are a bit expensive but they don't seem to like peanuts. Still it doesn't cost that much, after all they eat like birds.

I never have seen Carolina wren with that fierce look! They have the sweetest chirps.
Good job!
