Are DSLRs DOOMED? Mirrorless vs DSLR

Mirrorless cameras like the Canon EOS R5 and R6 have made their way into many bird photography bags already. But what about our trusty DSLR cameras for bird photography? Are they Doomed? Will they be not around for much longer? Are mirrorless cameras just too good not to own?
Duade and I discuss our experiences shooting with mirrorless cameras for the past year and how we feel about them and what we would change. Will we even consider switching back?

Let me know in the comments whether you are photographing with a mirrorless or DSLR camera and what brand. Why did you or didn't you make the switch?
