A9ii + Tamron 150-500 @ 500mm. No crop this time. I was seated on my porch about 10 feet from the feeder. I truly have no idea how people who take birding more seriously do it.

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Professionals may use "hides" but there are also cameras with different optics and higher speed shutters. They also tend to understand a lot better the angles to photograph at.
There's an article talking about the famous kingfisher photo and the dude was out there taking shots for a few days. For documentaries like BBCs "Planet Earth" they had people in various locations sometimes for weeks-months.
