So much outstanding photography! I pretty much have to use the "like" button on every shot. 
Here are a few more of my scraps from the Washington trip.

Here are 2 additional images of a bluish iridescent hummingbird feeding nectar from CR.
Joshua these hummingbird pics are fantastic! I really like the way the Sony sensor produces such fine feather details with the Canon 400mm lens. In addition to your skill in capturing them so nicely.

Thank you, Chuck! Yes, that combo performs impressively well together. Here is another image, which I cropped quite a bit to show the details of the hummer. I played with the idea of selling this lens after this trip but I may have to reconsider that stupid idea. If I were to go back to Costa Rica, I would take that lens again in a heartbeat.

Joshua,
This may be a good lens to rent for those special occasions like CR trips? I used to shoot a lot of High School and College Lacrosse and I used the older version 1 Canon 400mm f/2.8 and it was super sharp. I sold the 400 mm bought the Canon 500mm f/4 which I found useful for both sports and wildlife/bird photography. Maybe someday we will see Sony producing some long telephoto lenses but they first need to get the AF system up to snuff!

On arriving in Venice 10 day after the UK 'Bexit' vote the enormity of this finally hit home and sitting on the ferry I broke down in tears. I have been profoundly upset by this and still haven't really come to terms with it. Hopefully I will have Italian citizenship shortly

Cross post with A6300 image thread.
A quick shot of a Blue Heron who visits a local park. I love the combination of A6300 with the FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 OSS G lens. The lens is plenty sharp and the weight and size is very manageable with the A6300.
It's certainly does not hold a candle to Joshua's great white Canon 400 f/2.8 II he so beautifully used in CR but the Canon weighs 6.5 pounds more and 8 times the cost of the Sony.

Thanks Ronny, I love your Dahlia and damsel fly shots and I see you are again teasing us with your deceptively difficult hover fly shots. Which reminds me, Joshua, those humming bird and grumpy snake shots are stunning.
This is a slightly odd shot which some might not like. The highlights are from the sun shining through the hedge.

Chuck, the main reason for me to take this lens to CR was the low lighting conditions inside rain forest in CR. In addition, the smoother bokeh rendered by the lens didn't hurt either. As I mentioned it earlier, it would be hard for Sony to introduce a lens that would challenge this particular Canon lens.

Thank you, Peter. Your images are very lovely.
You are right, Ronny's images are indeed very impressive.
Here are a few images to show the smooth bokeh generated by that lens with a 1.4X TC at wide open. Yes, there are other very colorful smallish birds in CR. The variety of birds there is simply stunning.

Amazing shots Joshua great detail and with the 1.4X TC . Is that the Version III TC and if so do you find a big difference between the Version 1 or 2?
Canon should use them for advertising.
