Yesterday my dog and I walked around the small end of our local lake. I took my quick reach rig (Sony a9 with Sony 100-400mm lens using a 1.4tc). This is practice for our trip to Hilton Head Island at the end of the week. When I bike ride around the island, this is the easiest rig to carry and get bird shots.

There was only one migratory bird around (the YHBB), but the conditions were good.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

The first goes perfectly with its voice, and made me spit out my coffee People who haven't heard that grating call should find a recording online. Gorgeous light and focus, Mike!

Thanks, Linda, they are also bullies, pushing the red-winger blackbirds out.
