I recently switched to the Canon R5 mirrorless camera and am looking for recommendations on the best Canon RF lens for bird photography. I mainly photograph songbirds and raptors. Any suggestions from fellow bird photographers?

For bird photography with the Canon RF mount, I highly recommend the Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM lens. Some key benefits:

  • Excellent focal range from 100-500mm, giving you flexibility for both close-up shots and birds in flight
  • Relatively compact and lightweight for a super-telephoto zoom
  • Fast and accurate autofocus for capturing birds in motion
  • 5-stop image stabilization for sharper handheld shots
  • High image quality throughout the zoom range

It's a versatile, high-performance lens ideal for bird photography. Pair it with a body like the R5 or R7 and you'll have a winning combo.

The new released RF 200-800mm lens is another great wildlife lens, but it is hard to find.

I also recommend the RF 100-500mm L lens.
