Are you looking for bag to keep in the car, or would it be for travel (airlines, trains, etc.)? The Accessories page on B&H (and probably Adorama) would list bag options for that camera. I have both the P900 and the P1000. I have found that if I am not constrained by space, the Ruggard bags work very well. I have the Commando 36 bag for my P1000 and it easily holds all I need to travel and fits under an airline seat or in the overhead compartment. Hope this helps a bit.

You will not regret it!!

I ordered my 500mm PF lens thru B&H in August 2018 and received it in July 2019. My DSLRs include two D500, a D750 and a D810. I put the 500mm on the D500 and the combination is superb. Lens is super sharp, and with the D500 at 10FPS, this is a great combo for wildlife and birds. The other D500 is married to my 200-500mm lens. It was worth the year wait IMO. Hang in there, and you will not be disappointed once the brown truck pulls into your yard.

Definitely European Starlings. Photographed in late October, they have already done a complete body molt and are in basic plumage at this point. As the winter and spring continue, the feathers wear a bit and the white spots will disappear into the glossy black overall that we have come to expect. This is their alternate plumage (breeding plumage).

Resqu2, take a look at this eBird site. You can search for any species in the world as well as an assortment of dates by month. I think that in Virginia the adults will be on eggs by February, with young out and about by May and June. Surf around the site, as it is wonderful resource. https://ebird.org/map/baleag?env.minX=-179.99999999291&env.minY=18.838083769349&env.maxX=179.326113654898&env.maxY=71.9081724700314

Good crop and a nice image. I guess that I would try to increase the colors a bit (first photo) and also remove a bit of the graininess (pixilation) within Lightroom or Photoshop.

White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus)

Cha-ching. Just what we all needed to read. I continually get these questions to me from non-photographers and have a hard time defining the differences to them. But maybe they don't need that differentiation? Being a Type-A personality and detail-oriented... I do!

Such a different set of "rules" apply in the West versus the East. In the Eastern US (east of the 100th Meridian), almost all of the land is in private possession. In the Western US, there are over 400 million acres that are in public ownership. That means that you folks in Mississippi and New Hampshire "own" it just as I do living here in New Mexico. The Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service and the US Fish & Wildlife Service (among many other state and Federal agencies) all administer these lands for ALL of our benefit and enjoyment. We here in the West are so spoiled. We just go out and visit and hike and photograph to our hearts delight on these lands. BUT, with that being said, private property rights are VERY different in different portions of our country. I would respectfully ask that we are responsible when we (as photographers) go out and look for photo opportunities. As others have mentioned in this discussion, location and circumstance matters. Just be AWARE, ask permission, be courteous and respectful. Just get out with the camera and capture incredible images.

No political opinions, please. This is about photography and private property / trespass issues.

In some parts of rural America, one needs to be careful. I took this message seriously. Photography from a public road is one thing, but disregarding a warning such as this one could be foolish.

I agree with Tjohn! I have lived near Albuquerque for 19 years and have traveled to every corner of the state, and am continually amazed at the incredible beauty and diversity here. But here are some suggestions:

Historical/Cultural: Bandelier NM, Chaco Canyon, Petroglyph Monument, Pecos National Historic Park, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument (three distinct ruins), Gila Cliff Dwellings NM, Acoma Pueblo, Taos Pueblo, Taos and Santa Fe, Historic Route 66, Three Rivers Petroglyph Site....

Scenic and Landscapes: El Malpais NM, Carlsbad Caverns NP, White Sands NM, Chama and the steam train to Antonito (or reverse order), Taos area, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks NM, Valles Caldera National Preserve and the Jemez Mtns., Sandia Mtns and the Turquoise Trail drive to Santa Fe, Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta (October)....

Wildlife: Bosque del Apache NWR (winter), Bitter Lake NWR (Fall and Spring), Rio Grande Nature Center, Randall Davey Nature Center (Santa Fe)....

Just a few suggestions from a wildlife biologist and history freak... oh, AND an avid photographer of all of the above and more!

I have had a P1000 for about a year. I am a semi-professional photographer and a professional birding tour leader, and also have a TON of other Nikon gear and cameras. I have to say that I simply love the P1000 for the versatility and size. I took this camera (and none of my other huge and heavy kit) to Alaska this past year for 6 weeks (Adak, Gambell, Nome, Denali, Anchorage, Seward, Barrow and Dutch Harbor) and captured 6500 images. With the available filters (UV, Polarizing and ND), the incredible zoom (try not to go too far past 2000mm), and the ability to shoot in RAW, this is a real winner. I am bringing my Nikon D500 with 200-500 as well as the P1000 to Thailand and Cambodia within the next three weeks, and this combination will allow me wide-angle landscape shots as well as super-zoom opportunities. If I were to take one camera on a foreign trip, it would be the P1000.

Umm, isn't that a basic question that you can do with Google or another search engine?

Good morning. I have both the P900 and the P1000. I got the P900 as a back-up for my Nikon D500 with 200-500mm lens combo so that I had extra reach and also landscape and candids. I was intrigued with the extra 1000mm zoom that the P1000 offered and so also picked that up. Of note, when zoomed over 2000mm on the P1000, there is a noticeable loss of image quality (increased pixelation), but still I am very happy with it. I am not sure that I will be using the P1000 at over 2500mm since heat shimmer even in the winter becomes very noticeable at that level of magnification. Advantages of the P900 includes: size and weight (a but smaller and lighter than P1000 and much more manageable (I took it on a two month trip to Madagascar and South Africa recently); has built-in GPS capability; threaded lens for filters, BUT it DOES NOT offer RAW image capture. Advantages of the P1000 are increased zoom capability (of limited use due to issues mentioned above); also has threaded lens for filter use; capability for RAW image capture as well as JPEG (although Lightroom has not developed an app for use as of this date); BUT does NOT have built-in GPS capability. I wish that a future edition of either camera would offer a combination of threaded lens for filters, GPS recording, RAW capture and great zoom & image quality above 2000mm. Just my two cents. BTW, I have not regretted purchasing either of these cameras!
