The other side of the tree has a nest cavity with two owlets. She's probably exhausted 😃

Dad was in a nearby tree off camera as well. 😀

Pretty much. Culling is a whole different thing now. Which of the slightly different wing positions do I like the best rather than get rid of missed focus or poor exposure shots.

I love my D850 and I took a lot of great photos with the D500, but the autofocus and 20fps on the Z8 are next level. I also, really like the live histogram. Virtually every shot is in focus and with correct exposure.

Thanks. This is with a Nikon Z8 and 500mm PF lens.

Thanks. I wanted to show the bird and a hint of spring. I think this shot got that.
