A big belated welcome back! Love the pictures also. You have an eye, what seems natural to use is difficult for others. Very artistic and creative. My daughter is the same and itās natural for her. I try to do the things she does and itās very difficult and never as good.
You really do have a gift for photography!

Canon EOS Series. (Not the Rebel) although I do use a rebel with a 300MM lens. Itās lightweight and with a good long lens it performs pretty well) I have a few different ones.

The Rebel with a 300 MM makes a good birding set up, I use the 60D for most things, even a manual telescope lens. This is a picture I took with the telescopic lens and itās not even a very good one.

do you use L lenses? I would love one of them

I use the cheapest glass I can get away with that produces the highest quality. I donāt find the L type lens to be of any higher quality mostly because of what can be done with software now. Once you master the use of manual lenses, you can pay a lot less for great glass but manual lenses are pretty useless for sports and fast moving birds.

My opinionā¦ most people have trouble taking good pictures because they wont:
a. Use the rule of thirds.
b. Use a tripod.
c. Use a trigger.
d. Adjust their ISO to the proper light condition.

I just bought this one: I was amazed at the quality of it for the price. I bought it for taking good pictures of the moon (I am a moonatic)
I have a lot of lenses, the best are the Canon AF in a few ranges, they have so many lenses, itās silly. My favorite for a general purpose lens is an 18 to 135 MM and shooting at 18 MP.
With that lens, you can get most images in a hurry, even birds within 50 yards and still have a usable image. If you get a 75 to 300 AF, itās great for fast moving stuff and athletics but you cant take a close up image.
Fun lenses are fish eyes but they have such a limited purpose itās better to just buy a $40.00 fish eye adapter. Itās not as crisp as it would be with an actual fish eye but software can correct most of that if you get an initial crisp imageā¦in fact any Canon AF lens is worth the price but they cost a lot of money.
This lens below can also be 2Xād. It has to be stabilized to get a clear image but the reality is - it is more of a telescope that attaches to a camera as opposed to a photographic lens. Iā'm really happy with it.
