Tennant dispute. A Black-bellied Whistling Duck decided to land on a nesting site of a pair of Wood Ducks. In a rare show of aggression the female Wood Duck flew close to the Whistler in an attempt to dislodge it. The Whistler stood it's ground until it's mate flew out over the lake and called for it to follow. Seconds later the Whistler flew off and the female Wood Duck reclaimed it's nesting site.

The Snowy Egret gets a red lore during mating season, and if that is not enough, it gets a white vail skirt to complete the ensemble.

No, I have moved away from tripods as in Wakodahatchee and Green Cay a tripod can slow you down and make quick shots difficult. By the time you reset a tripod you miss a lot of action and that magic moment is gone.
The Sony 600 weighs about 6 1/2 lbs. but is center weighted, so hand holding is very possible. Sony has IBIS in the body and lens so hand holding a long lens is very stable. I only bring up the lens for the shot, otherwise it is held resting against my body. I attach the vertical grip with rides on my shoulder blade making carrying the lens tightly to my body effortless. And if I need to hold the lens for any length of time my left hand is just behind the lens hood which really stead's the lens.
I used to shoot a Nikon 600 f4 DSLR lenses that weighed about twice what the Sony does, so for me it seems like the Sony 600 is no issue. Holding technique is very important and so is proper breathing. I used to shoot skeet and stationary targets with rifles and shotguns, the techniques are very similar.
So, yes, I hand hold all of my longs. To be honest the Sony 200-600 lens feels heavier to me than the 600 f4.
The only issue comes when I am tracking something very fast like a Black necked Stilt. That's where it is sometimes better to have a long zoom, you can pick up the bird a lot quicker at 200mm than at 600mm, then once I have it at 200 with the 200-600 I can just zoom out to fill the frame with the bird.
Sorry for being long winded. I sometimes get too wordy.
Thanks for the question.

Lets say someone buys a Mint D500 from Ebay, costing an average of $850.00 for one with a low shutter count.
A Nikon battery for that camera will cost $60.00 from Ebay.
So a Nikon battery will cost you 7% of the cost of a D500 camera in Mint condition with a low shutter count.
I consider that a great investment in your D500 purchase, and a bargain.

Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
Sony a1, Sony 600 f4 @ f4, 1/3200 sec. iso 640. Manual exposure was taken from green trees that were hit by the sun the same as the Yellow-crowned Night Heron. Green grass and foliage reflect just about the same % of light as a gray card. So it is sorta like taking a gray card every where you go.
I did not stop down any further because of the dark colors of the Heron, if I had been exposing for a White Egret, I would have stopped down two to three stops to retain feather detail.
I like to shoot my 600 wide open, it tends to be sharp corner to corner at f4 and or course helps to eliminate back group clutter.
Thanks for viewing.
Right now things at Wakodahatchee are really popping. Middle of March, April and May are always good months to visit.

Yes. It is not a mirrorless camera and can take wonderful images.

Place your camera in a sealed bag of rice and let it rest for a few days depending on how wet it was. To be safe you're probably best leaving it for up to a week!

The OP said he had a Nikon D500, not a Canon LP-E5, I was responding to the OP, and yes, the battery is still available for the OP's D500, as I stated in my response to the OP.

Paypal. I use only Paypal. You should use Paypal too. Did I mention you should consider Paypal.

Ride with the brand. Your camera will be safer, the battery will last longer, and you will be much happier with Nikon branded batteries.
