My new (slightly used) Nikon 500mm f/4 P lens showed up yesterday evening. I must admit that I did not know these guys are this big! It's a monster! Good thing I talked myself out of getting a 600 or 800mm lens! Anyway, it's a beautiful lens indeed. I had some daylight left so I took it out in the back yard looking for feathers. It's a good thing my new monopod showed up at the same time. There was one scruffy looking bird out so I started with it. I don't even know what it was. The three bird photos are the same photo. Then the moon was big and bright so I tried my luck with it. I hope to get out next week and get some more serious shots.

Later,
