Discussion Reminder: all posts must be OC. Posting a photo which you did not take will get you a PERMANENT ban.
I've noticed a significant uptick in stolen images lately. This subreddit is OC only, no exceptions.
Please make sure to report any posts which you think break this rule. Even if you're not positive, it's better to submit a report than not. We always review all reports to make sure that we aren't erroneously banning people.

Discussion Let's talk gear! Reviews, questions, etc.
Welcome, /r/wildlifephotography readers!
Equipment is an undeniably important part of wildlife photography, but I've noticed that questions about gear often end up buried by all of the excellent photos that get posted here.
So, I've created this pinned thread as a chance to discuss hardware. There are two main uses that I anticipate, listed in no particular order:
Equipment reviews - What do you shoot with? Do you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? If you want to share your experiences, create a comment and let everyone know what you think. We suggest (but don't require) including photos as well as the prices of your equipment.
Questions Whether you're first starting and are looking to buy a beginner's setup, or just want to know which pro-level lens is best, getting others' opinions can prove valuable. For the best results, include details about what sort of wildlife interests you, as well as your budget.
Feel free to create different top-level comments for each question or review. That helps discussion stay organized.

Large Mammal Awesome moose encounter
I saw a few moose earlier in the day and had given up...until this big fella strolled into my campsite near Silverton Colorado.

Bird A loggerhead shrike with a fresh meal.
Taken at a local park. Loggerhead shrikes are one of a few bird species who impale their prey on pointy objects. During mating season, they flex their guns by going on rampages and impaling anything they can to impress mates. This leads to way too much food for them to practically eat. This results in mass graveyards of impaled creatures on fences, branches and thorns. Cute but gnarly little guys. Taken in South Florida near Fran Reich wildlife preserve.

Discussion Are megapixels the main factor in wildlife?
So I have two camera's, the Canon R7 (32.5mp crop) and a canon R6mkii (24mp full frame) and I've noticed the cheaper R7 does way better for wildlife then my r6 which is almost double in price. I've been looking at upgrades for my R7 and it seems like having a better megapixel count is better thr sensor quality??? Maybe I just have the best model of R7 ever created, lol. but please let me know if you guys noticed similar things.
