Finally received my Z9 and decided to take it out for a test drive. Shots taken at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntington Beach, CA. I used a Nikon 70-200 w/2x teleconverter hand held. Some cropping and sky replacement as it was a butt ugly grey day. Thanks for viewing.

Wow Don, really great tack sharp set. The Double-crested Cormorant BIF is an amazing capture but I have to go with the California Towhee as Best in Set

Wow! I think you will like the new camera! I don't know how compatible the Nikon 200~500 zoom would be with the Z9, but I highly recommend it!
