Yep - sometimes I like to lighten the load when I'm out birding and leave the DSLR home or in the car. ; Especially as it gets into summer heat down here, a 6-8 hour day of lugging around the DSLR and big lenses gets tiring when it's 95 degrees and 90% humidity. ; The NEX-5N with my 55-210mm lens and Sony DH1758 1.7x teleextender combo is the perfect cure when I need to travel light, and still get some reach for birding...and the results are still pretty decent! ; Here are some birds captured with this combo this past season:
Black-crowned night heron:
Ibis in flight:
Black-bellied whistling duck having a bath:
