Here's one from this morning along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive, Merritt Island Florida. More tomorrow, so tired from a long drive home!

Rarely do you get a chance to get an Eagle spotting his meal, picking up take out, eating his meal and then washing up afterwards! Pretty cool!

Well, CP+ turns out to be another dud with no big announcement so far. So I guess no new toy for my big trip this April

A quick walk in a park next to my apartment this evening.

Nice set!

I said the end of last summer when people were clamoring for another body and started speculating about a Z8 or baby Z9 that no chance Nikon was coming out with another body in 2023 (Z30 isn't a shooters body) to compete with the Z9 cash cow. I said you'll be luck by mid 2023 and likely the last quarter of 2023.

This is no surprise to me. I also feel the 200-600 isn't going to be till the last quarter either.

Yep, both type of owlets are less than 10 minutes walk from my apartment
Very convenient but they move from times to times but I have a good friend who walk
there almost every evening so he usually let me know when they move.
The Asian Barred owlet is a bit skitish and only showed up recently. Hopefully it will stay put.

Awesome George! I was there last week. Was so happy to see the roseate spoonbills, my favorite Florida bird.

Thanks Ross! Yeah there was a little bit of everything and I was only there 2 mornings for a couple hours each day. Next time I just may spend lots more time there! Great place!

Much easier to get to this skittish meadowlark with this lens vs 400+TC1.4

Took a day off (we're supposed to get up to a foot of snow tomorrow, so gotta take advantage of the weather). It was bitterly cold & windy but at least it was sunny.

The only problem with this lens is that I stopped using the 400 4.5.

Some of the morning encounters:


Dunlin



The Stare



Purple Finch



Foraging Shorebirds



White-winged Scoter
