Re: Now all I have to figure out is how to get to the backyard without scaring them away

You're getting there.  I love my R6 paired with the RF 100-400.  I even got the RF 1.4x teleconverter and am very happy with the results.  I love shooting my backyard birds too, and have gotten some very good results.

Keep working with the focus.  I've come to realize that the birds with very dark or black eyes give lots of problems when it comes to the eye AF.  It's a fun hobby!
