I always use my Sigma 150-600mm lens for birding but mostly use it to get better shots close up rather than trying to shoot birds a long way off.
This little guy was at least 70 meters away so I had a go, hand held at 900mm (D500, 35mm equivalent) cropped as well.
While it's not the best shot, I like it with the dark, natural, background.

Looks good...

Ron, this is an excellent photograph, good balance and focus. Handheld is the best way for birding.

I like it too, Ron! The D500 is a great camera! Hand held 900mm!!! You are the MAN!!

He used 600 but with crop sensor he's said 900. 600 still tough to hand hold

It is attractive with that dark background.
