Urban birds with an EOS 7D (beta)

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Right after I got the 7D test unit from Canon late afternoon of Sept. 10th, I immediately went to nearby Coastal Lagoon (Manila Bay) for some practice shooting.
This is to familiarize myself with the new camera's controls. This gallery contains practice shots from that sortie, as well as shots taken in my backyard just before I returned the camera on Sept. 13th.
