Angry Birds at 7th Ranch


Garryowen, MT, July 2025

John has been trying to test the Canon R7 against the Canon T7i, so he went back out after the storm to take more pictures of the angry baby bird. He got further proof of this birds utter lack of survival instinct because it was now being angry in the middle of the road. John took some pictures and got the bird on a stick to move it. It promptly tried to fly back into the road, but it only made it part way back. It was safer than before.

These are the pictures taken with the Canon T7i and the same Canon 100-400mm L series lens. The results are interesting. Out of 55 pictures, somewhere in the range of 10 to 20 of the pictures had very good focus with maybe 3 with excellent focus. This is two or three times better than the Canon R7, but the best focus of the Canon R7 was better than the best focus of the Canon T7i. The T7i had very few terrible focus pictures, but this was due to hand-holding the camera and slipping off the subject. The Canon R7 has A LOT of terrible focus pictures during the time that the camera believes it is tracking and focused on the subject. It would require more pictures in different settings to have a complete picture.

The original Peep gave John the cold shoulder.

If you get to close, you get the baby bird war dance.

Or the baby bird death stare. If looks could kill …

After relocating, baby bird just sat there looking delicious.

We are pretty sure that it is a baby Western Kindbird because this bird got angry when I got to close to baby bird.
