Our first stop was Wings of the World, site of previous Canon failures. The lighting is poor, & this Ibis is really PINK, but at least this shot is ALMOST clear. Sony H5.

Richard accomplished something with the Canon that I couldn\'t do with the Sony. I couldn\'t focus through the fishing line-like barrier that held this bird captive.
