There were, however, no birds at North Beach. I bailed at 7:23, headed for my back-up morning location, and did quite well with more than a few tame and cooperative subjects. I worked first with the Canon R5\/RF 100-500 rig and finished up with the SONY a9 ii\/200-600, both often with the 1.4X TC. Both rigs are superb. I created 1235 images and kept 49. I learned the location of a Great Horned Owl nest with chicks that is supposed to be good for morning flight photography &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to join me for one or more inexpensive In-the-Field Instructional sessions on Saturday or Sunday morning, please contact me immediately via <a href=\"mailto:samandmayasgrandpa@att.net\">e-mail<\/a><\/center> or try me on my cell at 863-221-2372.
