So I set back out today to see if I could get any tracking testing done (during lunch), and I spotted the same American Kestrel, on the same tree as I saw the other day. Today, I had decent light.
I no more than rolled up, rolled the window down & pointed the camera up at him & off he went.
I was able to lock on and fire just a few shots, but based on the ridiculously small sample the tracking seems to work better on the Z6 with V3.0 firmware.
Z6, 500PF, 500mm, 1/1600, F5.6, ISO 125, Auto Area AF, with tracking on.
I'd say the Z6 tracking performed better than the operator in this instance. The sequence stopped because I turned into the door jam. Lol!

Wonderful Kestrel work! The colors are just so pleasing.
