While technically not a redo by caedes definition, it is the same bird on the same twig, just a week later. What's different is that I am only about 15 feet from the bird (not 30), my iso setting is 250 (not 320) and I am using a 1.4x tele-converter on my 600mm lens (greater magnification). Both days are cloudy so a tripod is a must as my shutter speed is only 1/25 of a second. Slight motion is picked up on the end of the bird's bill. In that I am closer with greater magnification the camera is able to pick up more information. The result is less background distortion, greater resolution and more detail. If I knew how to create a link, I would take you to the other picture for comparison. Please remember that these are really tiny birds and I am making them really big.

To see the other shot click here.
It is a tie between the great photo and the great explanation you gave us Garrett. That is the kind of information we all need.

1/25 of a second, boy that's a slow shutter speed, the photo came out very well despite the harsh conditions.

A bird like this: I never knew they really existed!
Garret, you mentioned using the teleconverter 1.4 x.
My personal opinion is that it is a waste of money. It destroys the sharpness of a good lens. I found that it works better without it.
But lets calculate: you have a 600mm lens x 1.4 magnification x 1.6 crop factor = 1344 mm effective range!!!
