2 duplicate 4TB hard drives. If one messes up (not likely), just copy to another. 2 won't fail at the same time.
Famous last words. I work in that world and yes, two cheap commercial drives can and will fail at the same time.

Interested in the D500. Can you pm me the shutter count and pictures, including the serial number.

An osprey made the mistake of invading a red-winged blackbird's air space and the RWB made a vigorous defense. In scene 1 the red-winged blackbird makes a dive from high on the osprey. Scene 2 he looks like a missile as he tries to catch up with the bigger bird. In scene 3 the red-winged blackbird shouts his farewell as the osprey banks right to depart the area.
Not the sharpest of pictures. I was shooting with a rental Panasonic G9 and the 100-400mm lens. Not too bad for the first day out with this combo.

I've been using PSE to digitally enhance some of my photos for a few years now. Here are a few samples:
Cable Cars in SF, Maine coast, Blue Angels, CO Rocky Mountains, Red Headed Woodpecker, and view from the ship in port.

I use MPB. They give you a quote up front and I have found them to be very fair in their price for my used gear.

I've always been partial to corvettes. The '67, a 327/350, is undergoing a frame off mechanical restore. The '68 was Rally Red on Red, a fairly unique color combo. The '73 was a 454/275 and it would pass anything on the road except a gas station. All fun cars.

They're going for a great price right now, too. $2100.
Curious - who has a D850 for that price?

Very pretty bird, very good catch. I think it's a Reddish Egret
They are related. The very rare Reddish Egret has a pinkish beak with a dark end where the LBH has a blue beak with a dark end. At least, that's the best that I can tell. Thanks for the reply.

Ran across two Red Shouldered Hawks squawking at each other today. Managed to catch this one as he took a break high up in a tree. Was using a Nikon Z 50 (on trial through LensRental) with a Nikon 300mm f/4. Seems to be a nice combination.

Never get tired of beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

You mention a 300mm lens. I have the 300mm f/4 and use it in good light with a Nikon Teleconverter TC-17EII. That's a 510mm reach and I get great results about 85% of the time. Not sure which 300mm you have but try renting a teleconverter and see what you think. Or check out the Tamron 100-400mm. It has good reviews and costs less than half the Nikon 80-400.
