During a recent trip to the Sandhills of Nebraska I took several pictures of the bird shown here. I attempted to crop close enough to show the legs as it may well be a yellowlegs, but I think it might be a juvenile long-billed Dowitcher. Any ID help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Pixelmaster! I spent that last few days trying to find someone in Lincoln, NE to fix my Briggs & Stratton engine on my Dixon mower that I was unable to fix myself. I was surprised to find out that most repair shops now only repair one brand of engines - ie. Honda or other. They must have some kind of exclusive contract that bars them from repairing other brands! Ah, the good old days - I should have appreciated shops that were real pros like your friend!

This redefines the term "Giving someone the hairy eyeball"! Well done!

Thanks Bug! I also do some handheld, but with elk and moose for hours of work I like the tripod until I have to move it!

Thanks PHRubin! I found a YouTube video that said the Sigma Telephoto Sport performed well with the adapter and RF camera!

Thanks for your response Picture Taker! I'll check out the Sigma a bit online.

How well do these following lens work with the Canon R6 (particularly with tracking eye feature on animals like elk, moose and birds)?
1) SIGMA 150-600mm 5-6.3 Sport. (Yes, I know this is a large lens, but I would be using a tripod with gimbal)
2). CANON Zoom EF 70-200mm 2.8 L Ultrasonic with Canon Extender EF 1.4x II
3). CANON Zoom 28-70mm 2.8L Ultrasonic
4). CANON Zoom EF 70-300mm 4-5.6 IS USM
My plan would include some R lenses in the future.

Thanks for sharing! I was looking at Adorama for a major purchase and will head elsewhere. Good service counts for everything.

Thanks for weighing in wjones! I believe the main nest material may include hosta leaves and stems which are located less than 20 ft away.

Hard to scale it - the squirrel nests I have seen have been volleyball size or larger.
This is less than volleyball size. The leaves surrounding it are sugar maple leaves. Thanks for commenting quixdraw!

Thanks for looking and advising Retired CPO! I could only wish it were more exotic!

Thanks for your input Mr. B! That is indeed a possibility as we do have a number of squirrels around, but never in this tree before!

I am located in Lincoln, NE. This fall, while enjoying fall tree colors in my yard, I found the nest pictured here. I have few ideas as to what kind of bird (or mammal) may have made and used it. I feed birds and we have had orioles, bluejays, cardinals, and a number different types of sparrows. Some Ugly Hedgehog will likely be a better detective than me!
