Does anyone know what it is?

I did not realize this and I apologize. Won't happen again. Ken

Nice flower shot. Here is another Hot Lips flower, this one from Costa Rica.

I find you a pretty knowledgeable camera guy, but your habit of resorting to flip comments does you a disservice.

I own canon gear and I have done lots of experiments using the same lens on a full-frame and an APS-C camera. I then blow up the image on the full-frame to be the same size as the APS-C and the APS-C wins every time. I used the 7DII and the 5DIII with the Canoon 100-400mm IS II lens for these experiments. By the way the noise level on the 7DII is just as good as the 5DIII also. You might find the following articles by Roger N. Clark interesting. http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/does.pixel.size.matter/#Conclusions AND http//www.clarkvision.com/reviews/evalution-canon-7dii/index.html. Ken

Very nice. I am impressed at the technical detail necessary to get these excellent photographs. Ken

Why would you give up an APS-C camera that is excellent for birding for many reasons not the least is that it gives you a 50% increase in telephoto capability? The Z9 is a full-frame camera that will not give you that telephoto advantage. Ken

What kind of Owl is it?

What kind of hawks?

Beautiful pictures. It would be nice if you included the names.

Very nice.

Nice job. I know how hard it is to get good in-flight shots of swallows.

Wonderful photo.

Great Shot.
