Download the reference manual, and go to page 116 and you will see optional accessories, 67mm screw on filter among other options is listed.
Thanks - I took the info I got at face value and did not question it at all so will now go out and get one

I'm very interested in the Nikon P900 and would like to know if the lens is threaded for a filter? If not how do you protect it? Thanks All in advance!
The lens is not threaded to take filters or hoods - I asked this same question of the the shop where I got mine and was told that what look like threads on the lens are simply concentric rings - hope this helps ?

I've got Nat'l Geo. Field Guide to the birds of N.A.. I am new to trying my hand at ID'ing birds. Is there a method to using the book or is just "keep turning pages"?
I came up with some sort of Thrush (the beak bothers me though)... am I close?

I think what you have there apart from a nice pic is a juvenile Red-winged blackbird !

This is not a tree sparrow. The tree sparrow has a full unbroken crown of russet - the chipping sparrow has no black bib whereas the tree sparrow does it also has a black spot on the cheek just below the ear ! the Chipping sparrow also has a white/pale eyebrow and a black line through the eye front to back.

Thank you I will be trying what you suggest as soon as I am able to get out again. I have other pics I have taken that I quite like and will post them in due course and see what sort of critique they get - I hope to take advantage of as much experience as there is on this ste as possible.

Nice. Enjoy your future adventures, both the adventures of learning the working of to camera, and the search for the perfect subjects.
The second shot, would be greatly improved by a better crop, not amputating the doves feet, cloning out that one blur, (suspect a bug in flight), and moving the dove to fit into the rule of thirds.
Looking forward to seeing your shots. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks - I was also hoping for some opinion on the Image quality and wether or not better may have been achieved using manual settings ?

These Pics are among a number i have recently shot with my Nikon P900. I shot all of these using Auto as I have not yet begun using manual settings.I was hoping I could get some opinion of these pics good and bad. Some suggestions of what settings I may have used. Would it help if I posted the settings chosen by the camera for each of these pics.
