My 'new' LA-EA4 came, so I put it and the Maxxum 28-135 on the A7RM3 and went out to just shoot whatever as a test. I was standing about 25' away from the feeders and spotted a Downy on the log. I didn't expect to see any birds at all with me moving around so close and the dog in the run, so I just snapped off a few with the settings I had.

I went inside and swapped out the 28-135 for the Minolta 100-400. Came back out but the Downy was gone. It wasn't long though before a Nuthatch showed up and started his acrobatics.

Shortly after a couple Sparrows came along and challenged the Nuthatch for space on the log.

This Red Bellied Woodpecker never did come to the feeder. He hung around way up in a silver maple wanting to come in, but was too wary.

Still not sure about this 100-400. It takes a lot of effort to get something decent out of it, sometimes it seems pretty good, other times not. Lots of CA too.
