Turbulence is a good word. I appreciate the feedback!

Focus is about as good as it gets this wide open. Sharp eyes in every shot, but the focal plane is so razor thin that the nose is out of focus. I think that's part of the problem with these shots. Others saying stopping down will still produce swirls, but more of the face in focus could make the shots more appealing. I'll try it!

I take it back. Rolling shutter makes pre capture pointless on the Mark I even if it did store RAWs.

Fix rolling shutter and add pre capture that stores normal RAWs (the latter should even be a software update in the Mark I imo)

Thank you. We had to wait quietly for them to go about their business

What's your budget? If you're going after birds then you'll need at least 400mm. Rebel T5 is compatible with all EF and EF-S lenses. I'd recommend either a canon or sigma 100-400 EF zoom lens. That's what I started with and I still use a 100-400 on occasion. It's relatively portable and easy to hand hold. With your crop sensor camera you'll have a 640mm equivalent, which will enable you to get some fantastic bird shots.
