You need very expensive (and heavy) long lenses to get good bird shots generally. You might do better purchasing a modest spotting scope and then getting a bracket to mount a smart phone to the scope. I have gotten my best bird shots with an iPhone mounted to a spotting scope. My scope cost a lot, but there are much less expensive ones out there that are probably close to as good. You need a good tripod too. Good luck--its lots of fun doing it.

I am close to my 300 Maine bird and I'm now just getting into photographing these beautiful creatures. I'm looking to buy a nice camera. Something nice for base and add zoom lens later. Maybe both? Looking to spend 700-1200$. I am not knowledgeable about cameras or lenses. I can do research but want to hear from ppl offline if they don't mind emailing back and forth. Thanks.
