What’s not to like?...these are gorgeous! And adding in that they were shot in natural light, highish to high ISO and you managed such clean backgrounds with minimal noise I’d be mighty proud of these.

Beautiful shots. I always prefer natural light hummers even though I have done some multi-flash while in CR...still natural light just looks more natural
How did you decide which camera to use? Did you use both at the same time with different lenses or just use one or the other depending on the situation?

Thanks so much, Geoff! Appreciate it.
It mainly depended on the amount of light I had to work with. More light meant the D850 was up to bat. Less light and the D5 got the nod. HOWEVER, the D850 files held up well, even at high ISO's!
I simply switched bodies on my tripod-mounted 500mm/f4 (which I have up for sale.....)

Thanks! That simple stem does allow the bird to get most of the attention.
