Here is another $.02. As people shoot longer lenses and with tc’s added, one thing that I think they don’t do is shoot fast enough. At 400 to 600mm I shoot at a minimum of 1/3200 assuming I am interested in sharp results. And the older we get, the more important it is to shoot fast. The older we get, the harder it is to hold long lenses. Of coarse, tripods with good heads help, but for fast moving erratic subjects, tripods are in many instances not advisable.

i guess the question is would be, how sharp is sharp enough? when i was using my canon dslrs i noticed some image degradation, especially with the 2x, but now with my sony a1, i never hesitate to put them on. i am happy with the results and don’t have to loose as many pixels with larger crops. remember, imo, how sharp an image is is only one factor in a good photo.

Technically it's a nice shot. Perhaps a bit underexposed that you should be able to adjust in post. As far as the shot itself, if you had the opportunity to get the bird without the road I think it would be a better "scene".

This is a lovely shot. Great posture, lovely light, and good background. What bugs me a bit however is the upright vegetation in the background. Perhaps if you had moved a bit to your right? Still, top notch bird photography here.
Yes, I agree, Sony's 600 prime can be hand held and compared to the 200-600 can create some wonderful backgrounds. I just wish however that Sony's stabilization system was a bit better.
As always, love looking at your posts.

Diving bald. In black and white, the lack of mid tones while showing black and white. Good question.

Love these little guys. Nicely photographed. Seems like you are enjoying the Tucson area. I am just below you in Tubac.

TCR only handles Nikon. They have a large stock of clean, used gear— and will order new gear with fast turn around. Unless you have been a Canon dealer you probably don't know how the Big C treats the small dealer; it can cost the Little D more to sell their cameras than the Little D makes from the sale— therefore SE AZ has lost all its once upon a time Big C dealers.
You mean only sells Nikon gear, right? Seems like their website says they do repairs on most of the major brands.
I was not aware their was a repair shop in Tucson, good to know.

I have a 500C that I loaned to a relative years back that I never got back. If he still has it, I am thinking of getting it back and getting a digital back. Have you considered this option?

Luck happens to those who are patient, tired, and hungry! 👍

Rick, it seems you are getting a lot of shots of pyrrhuloxia. That is really cool. We don't seem to have any (many?) here in Tubac. Can you recommend where I can find and photograph. You are getting some really nice shots!

It just seems to me these guys seem to do a bunch of work for minimal rewards, but they keep at it. Captured this immature bird at the Chilean coast near Santiago on my way to the Falklands last December. Hope you enjoy.
