My virtual friend PetKal asked:
(1) What's with all those Purple martin shots ? Don't you have any Barn swallows on Vancouver island (Parksville) ? 
Not sure what birds are there, but there is one strange bird for sure .
Here, in Afghanistan, we don’t have barns, thus no Barn Swallows. But, we have military forces in profusion busily guarding poppy crops. This bring us to your strange find of the “white stuff” on the 800 mm pipe. I’d say, dandruff.
I tested the 1Dx2 using PM as targets and I continue during my current gear streamlining experiments. More about it next week, when time allows.
(2) Have you tried using any Rebels, or a camera like 80D, for BIF photography recently ?
If "all current Canon offerings are excellent", why do you use 1DXII for the shots which Rebel T7 could also make for 10x lower price ?
I stand corrected. It should be: "all my current Canon offerings are excellent”. Despite deep curiosity I cannot afford time to “fiddle on the roof” with these “marvels”. Past experience with the “baby 1Dx” was enough of hair rising experience even on a bold head.
“Lan11 could be "anyone's" nom de plume for when they post sBIF photographs on this board. For all we know, that shooter could be the member we know as EB-1, or Jefferson, or SurfingRon, or Arthur Morris.....etc. ”
I noticed a convenient omission of PetKal on the list of “nom de plumage”.
qc_mountain asked: “Very Nice shoots your keeper rate on the 1DxII must be much higher than on the 5DsR.”
Thanks. The “keeper rate” is a different thing to different people. If you mean sharpness that’s correct, but quite low by my “keeper” requirements.
