I still say the sensor in the Rii is the most amazing sensor ever in a 35mm sized format.
And I suppose there are just a few of use plying 'wildlife' photography with this Sony. I can't wait until the tech of the a6300 trickles up to the A7Riii and hopefully Sony will give us a 10fps in crop mode when that happens.
So I've been working this hawk for over 3 months. I started 'baiting' him in when everything was snow and ice covered with raw chicken. Then I progressed to making squirrel and chipmonk more accessible. I have a 'bird studio' out back=lots of feeders and song birds and all the bird seed means squirrels, chipmonds, rats, mice, snakes, groundhogs, etc.
One day I noticed the RTG 'admiring' all the song birds and the rodents who've come for the free food.....that's when I built a 'hawk tower'. Simply a 4x4 post in the ground with stick perches on top. The rest is history Since then we've watched him take squirrel, rabbit, and an occasional dove in the backyard. I should also mention the backyard is 200,000 acres of Nat. Forest.

The big Sonnar really sings in your capable hands, Charles. Amazing shots. I really like the warm light and colors in No.3.
Thank you very much Chris
Your perseverance has certainly paid off in spades, Robert. This is an awesome capture! Wait ... did the hawk freak out after he spotted you?

Helena...likewise, your CV 35 1.7(new or old?) set is awesome.
Thank you! It's the new one. What's the easiest way to differentiate it from the older one in posts here? Add VM to the "label" like with the CV 50/1.5?
Some photos from yesterday with the Ultron 35/1.7 (new version):
