Very nice. I was just in FL at the Wakodahatchee preserve shooting birds with 200-500mm and my D5. A lot of fun.
That place is amazing. Visited it a couple of years ago.
Sandy Sea, thank you. Those Scrub Jays were so confiding, we were shooting at point- blank range with good light, I never got such feather detail.

Where did you get the Florida Scrub Jay image? Thanks - Rob
Merritt Island NWR - along a trail, something like Scrub Jay Ridge.
Thank you Terry. I will admit to watching an awful lot of videos on various aspects of photography, from understanding exposure to AF to the use of Manual Mode. A lot to learn, but I just retired, and this is a perfect adjunct to my passion for birding.
That’s a really good tip. I was on a birding trip to Mexico recently and our guide used something similar that enabled the light from the flash to go a greater distance. With it, he was able to get great pictures consistently, even of owls at night. Right now, I’m just trying to learn the basics, but I’ve been seeing how dependent I am on the light conditions. Thanks for your input.
A recent trip to Florida gave me a chance to try my new equipment (D500 with 200 - 500 5.6 lens). Would appreciate all input and suggestions.
How do you set Time Machine to copy photos stored on external drives? I thought that wasn’t supported.
