Bird Photography with Olympus

Olympus recently released a firmware update for their OM-D E-M1X cameras, which added AI-based bird recognition and tracking to the camera's autofocus system.  After hearing that news, I purchased an E-M1X body along with an M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f4 IS lens to see how it would cope with our small backyard birds.  As you can see from the images below, the camera did quite well despite the poor light conditions.

Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)

Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis)

Chestnut-backed Chickadee (Poecile rufescens)

Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus)
