Good question. I guess there was some croppingIn my camera bag
Nikon D810 with a Nikon 28-300 Nikon D500 with a Tamron 160-600Feedback
I like the D500 and the Tamron lens for birding the quality is mostly good. The gear is heavy so a mono pod is good. I seldom use a tripod for birding it is too bulky but it can be done. Small birds are very flighty and hopping around . Handheld can be done with this equipment but I am almost 75 years old and shaky so I need some assistances .
