Welcome and don’t give up! Photography is a million simple things to go ‘wrong,’ so make a short checklist to memorize what you’re discovering you’re not remembering to check and set when you shoot. BTW; I used to live in Garrison, along the AT, the river, hiking there and architecture is awesome.

Wow, the picture and specs on the one I googled did not. I stand corrected!
The 3400 doesn’t have a hotshoe, iirc, and you need a hotshoe to mount the little AS-15 adapter that protects the camera from too much voltage and provides a pc socket for the external flash's sync cord. The 3500 is outfitted with a hot-shoe.
The only workaround would be to turning off the lights, opening the shutter on B, firing the flashes, closing the shutter. Totally old school studio still-life style.
The 1.4 50 looks tempting, but buying fron Adorama or B&H might be the same price and w/o sales tax
On Nikonusa.com website Nikon Coolpix P900 refurbished has a 35mm equivalent 24mm wide angle to a 2000mm optical zoom built in. It’s compact, compared to a dslr and less than your budget-with plenty left over. If that dedicated lens is enough why pay extra and carry extra weight for interchangable lenses?
The advantage to buying the Nikon brand over other contenders, in my experience, is that their build is more robust and can take a lot more (unanticipated) insult and abuse. Ecellent off- brand lenses have succumbed to drops and impacts, dust, sand, moisture and temperature extremes where my Nikons have survived, or at least were repairable.
I strongly reconnend you look up the answer at some of the professional organizations. Pricing needs to include a lot of ‘hidden’ costs and consideration of usage rights.
Great photos! Back in the 80’s the windows at the photo studio in AMNH always had binoculars at the ready. The staff I worked with were avid and knowledgeable birders, I tried to pick up what I could from them. Across the street, Central Park was a hot spot for birds.
You mean it fits horizontally? I lay the cameras on their backs in the bags. I need to use the bag for a body, speedlights, a 17-35 2.8 wide and or a 70-200 2.8 telephoto lens, both with lens hoods, with at least a coiled off-camera flash cord, reporter’s notebook, extra batteries and a filter or two in the outer pockets. Sometimes I use 2 bodies and 2 Domkes, But if I leave the lens hood on the 70-200, or if I have the 70-200 on the D750, it exceeds the height of the bags. The tele and hood can stay on the D750 in the Tenba Messenger bag. BTW, the issue becomes moot if I use the Spiderbro belt, but the belt can be a pita, because mine is so flat the belt slides down off my hip and is literally a pita after a few hours, lol.

Interesting my 100-400mm fits my small Domke bag.
Model F3X.
The Domke bags are good, durable and convenient, but too small for a 70-200, a wide angle zoom with a body and a speedlight softbox. I use a Tenba messenger bag for carrying those items
