Hello, everyone! I've been browsing my bird photo albums these past few nights trying to determine what were my camera settings when I started shooting with my Sigma 150-500mm. I was comparing my shots then with my recent shots because I have noticed a regressing quality with my photos. In the process of looking back at not so old photos, my attention was drawn to the photos of cuckoos I took from UPD last April 22 of this year. Just a few days after I purchased my BigmOS and after fellow birders pointed where we could spot the Oriental Cuckoo. Someone told me that the more colorful bird was an immature Oriental Cuckoo. But when I was examining the features last night, I got this nagging feeling that I might have photographed a Hawk Cuckoo or more specifically a Philippine Hawk Cuckoo. Please, help me ID. Here are my set for comparison. This would be a big plus to my photo lifers if it's indeed a Hawk Cuckoo. Thanks very much! I'm using Nikon D5000 with a tripod and I'm basically shooting JPEG, until the lectures of Kuya Alain and Kuya Rey. Oriental Cuckoo 500mm, F/7.1, 1/320 sec. ISO-800, Manual 500mm, F/7.1, 1/320 sec. ISO-800, Manual, +0.3 500mm, F/7.1, 1/320 sec. ISO-800, Manual, +0.3 Possibly a Philippine Hawk Cuckoo 500mm, F/8, 1/40 sec. ISO-800, Aperture Priority, +1.3 500mm, F/8, 1/60 sec. ISO-800, Aperture Priority, +1.3
