Not to thrilled about the lighting conditions due to it being on the other side of the highway with the sun behind it (in front of me), but I was not going to pass up getting it anyway.

I guess zoomed. What did you use? :D

Here's one I took late June with my Note 20 Ultra 5G to test the 1X, 10X, 20X and 50X zoom.

I used my Canon I got off ebay for a bill over a year ago that has a 50x optical, but in that shot (first and any others took that zoomed in) was at the 50x but I took it to 60X with it and digital so it would not pixelate like a mofo.

And as mentioned, the sun was on the other side of the bird rather then behind me, and was SUPER bright out, so it was very hard to get any kind of a decent shot, and was the best I could do, even with the first one run through some filters, it was the best I could get out of it.

We get those guys often on the wires near us. They like looking for fuzzy shit running across the road.
Got a near perfect shot with my cellphone years ago of this guy (south carolina coast)

OH I LOVE THAT FLIGHT SHOT!!!! There was another one I passed that would of been a much better shot before I hopped on the 4 lane, but when I pulled up down from it, it took off to the other side of the street, and tried again, then flew into the woods. This one was about 2 min down from that one.

I had my phone doing rapid fire shots at a literal perfect moment, but none were in-frame correctly. Just poor timing on my part/my phone's part. That one was pretty good though.
