Finally after a long hiatus in the local birding scene, I was able to smell the outdoor breeze of a favorite birding spot.
This is also timely because I was able test the Canon M2 (mirrorless system) in field condition. The Hybrid CMOS II sensor apparently delivers the AF performance in this camera. I like the idea of the small + big setup but as expected, the balance was way off than what I'm used to which would require considerable adjustment in terms of operations. There's no view finder which effectively forced me to shoot blindly amidst the bright sun in the open mid-day field.
Overall, I'm happy with the field experience with this setup. In between clicks of the camera's shutter or "finger pointing" in the case of the Canon EOS M2... we also had our fill of tales and stories with friends over coffee. Such a simple life of a birder in this part of the country. Many thanks to Tateo, Bobby K and Doc Luico for the warm company.

Below is the M2 mated with the Canon 600mm f/4 IS via the EOS adapter c/o Tateo.
Another angle of the setup showing the relative size of the camera and the lens combo.

Sweet background and very pleasing colors on the JPH, Nilo..... lovely shot!
Lol, the camera looks like a lens cap at the rear of the 600.

Birds and friends - what could be better than that?
