I cain't say for sure, but I would guess maybe 60 yards. The last pic was closer and cropped hard.

I have been watching a flock of birds the last month. Like clock work they fly down at 645.
Yesterday Three strutters were doing their thing while the other 30 some bird fed. The are about 200=250 yds off the road. I guess it would take a base ball bat sized lens to capture them. I trying my best to find the land owner. I have heard his is not a fan of hunting. But I am going to try ...never know
