Wow, it's been almost 8 months since my last photo posting. I definitely hibernate during the past winter 
. Two months ago I decided to changed my gear and bought a 50D and a 400mm f5.6 to pair with it. So far I am liking what I saw but still, so much to learn the new system.
Last week, can't control myself and bought a used 1DM2 after reading how good this body for wildlife/BIF. Now I am in dilemma what body to keep.
Pics 1 & 2 were taken using the 50D.
Cormorant (f6.3, 1/1600s, ISO200 )
White Egret (f6.3, 1/2500s, ISO200)
This was taken using 1DM2. I found that the 50D was struggling to get a decent focus on this fast flying, small red-winged blackbird. The 1D was able to lock on the focus without any problem.

Thanks,
Conrad
