Finally a decent bird shot

That's with the MF Tokina 300mm f/2.8 plus 1.x TC. Click for full pixel
crop. I'm pretty happy with this one. It's a little bird and very
challenging.

Here's more birds from that same shoot if anyone can help with IDs, I
know plants, not birds:

I like the extreme OOF at that focal length:

Usually the bokeh comes out nice, here's an example where it goes bad,
due to harsh lighting (I just wanted to document that plant):

Here's another set earlier that day at another park with the 105/2.8 VR
for comparison:

Good shot, I like the length of the claws on that little bird.
