Happy to oblige. Here are some fairly recent photos taken in Florida with this combination.
Beautiful images and looks like about anything beyond nine feet or so is fair game!

Fed Ex delivered one to my house yesterday. haven't had a chance to use it yet, but from what I'm seeing here, I think I made a good decision. will be used on my D7200.
Like you 3dees, FedEx delivered one to me as well from Cameta. I am looking forward to this weekend to run it through its paces.
To the OP... those are fine shots from your combination!

Very nice. I am trying to decide on a longer lens. I have the Tamron G 150-600 and the Sigma sport 150-600 in my sights but just can't decide which one.

I have this lens. I shoot Pentax which has IS built into the camera. A tip for those who use cameras with this feature- turn off the in camera IS if using the Sigma IS. Your images will be sharper. The 2 conflict.

110.2 inches according to a review I just checked. I believe that is about 9.18 feet.
the Canon 100-400 II is 3 feet. FYI

I agree, and good job! These super teles are very good for close up photos because it's easy to blur out the background.

You have just "discovered" some of the reasons why so many photographers use a tele. It is not only for wildlife but it also can offer many other opportunities like those you approached.
I use my teles often as a "macro" lens with satisfactory results.
My old 80-400 VR ha slow focus but it is very sharp and keeps on serving me well for wildlife photography.
I have heard lots of good things about the 150-600 VR by Sigma and Tamron. The images I have seen from both lenses are excellent.
