A Few from Farmington Bay

Drove to Farmington Bay Bird Refuge Tuesday. The weather forecast showed stormy/snowy weather for the next week. So, I thought this might be my best chance at birds for a while.
Not many birds to photograph, but I managed a few. Way more fun than sitting at home.
Most are heavily cropped photos using Nikon Z9 and 500mm pf telephoto lens.
Enjoy,
Steve

Great shots of the Harriers and Ducks! It looks like you're enjoying your Z9 and making good use of your 500mm pf. I got my Z9 a a few months ago and have really been enjoying it as well.

Thanks Chief,
I usually don't notice if it is a male, I just shoot photos of the bird, then it just appears as I review the photos for the day.
Thanks for your comments.

Steve,
I am enjoying the new camera, still so much to learn. I am really pleased the 500 pf works so well. I am not ready to spend a lot on new glass when I have a room full of "F" mount lenses. I think my transition to "Z" glass is going to be a slow but steady process.
Thanks for your comments.

In this case the male and female are very different. He is called "The Grey Ghost". For some reason rarely seen and rarely photographed!
And you are very welcome!

Very nice. The last one would have been great had you told the bird to take off coming toward you.

Jeff,
Thanks for your comments. I will try telling the bird which direction to proceed, wouldn’t that be great if it would work.
