I've been reading Gary's 180-600 comments and viewing the images he continues to capture with it.
I love my super lightweight 500PF. However, I'm seeing that the 180-600's internal 70 degree zoom may trump the lighter weight 500PF.. Please look at these two images. They were taken minutes apart and they show the advantage of the zoom.
With the 180-600's internal 70 degree zoom I could have *easily* pulled back and framed the entire loons

Behind this EKB, high up in a Red Maple there is a nest full of EKB babies with open mouths. *They need lots of insects.*
The EKB parent perches on low twigs at water's edge and makes foraging runs for Odonata. None of this happens until the Odonata nymphs begin ascending the aquatic plant stems.
The dragonfly nymph emerged early that morning and was out of its case before noon and airborne that day. One reference said the white tubes are trachea of the nymph that will pull out of the adult.
