It's Christmas.... let no pixel be harmed :)

I spent my December 25th cleaning my gear, charging my batteries and checking if all my photo systems are still working by birding around my mother's backyard here in La Union, northern Philippines.

Since it's Christmas Day, I thought it'd be appropriate not to harm any pixel by avoiding wasteful cropping. It looks like my poor man's 800 f/5.6 (a.k.a. 400 2.8 IS + 2x TC) has maintained its decent IQ even when used wide open.
 
Happy Holidays!
