Sorry... are you carrying around both the 400 and 600 GM with you?
In my car, yes. Only sometimes do I bring both out of the car and keep one in the backpack. Most of the time I just take the one I need out of the car for my given location. Most local places I shoot I can be back at the car within 5 mins or less if I really need to switch. But for most of my local locations I tend to prefer one or the other and don't switch back and forth much.
With those Sunday shots I knew the owl location was relatively dark (so f/2.8 preferred) and the owls don't give a "hoot" about humans and will sit and eat where I actually have to back up sometimes to fit them in the frame with the 400. My friend uses his 70-200/2.8 in that same location.
Then at the lagoon with the herons and terns the 600 is usually preferred so I switched to that when I got there.
I don't own two cameras so I never have both of them setup and ready to shoot at the same time.
