    I was returning from the Grand Canyon and came across this pair of Osprey. I set up my Nikon Z9 with a Nikkor 180-600mm f 5.6-6.3 VR . I watched as they added sticks and nesting material to their nest. Eventually the male Osprey flew in with a fish in his talons and delivered it to his mate.

    While hiking in Sedona last June, I heard a birdsong that I didn't recognize. Following the sound I came across this Northern Cardinal singing to the afternoon sun for my birthday. I shot this with my Bikon Z9 and a 180-600mm f 5.6-6.3 VR lens. I use back button focus with bird character recognition and continuous focus for shooting birds. Higher shutter speeds for small birds if flight, but since he was relatively stationary, I used a slower speed to lower ISO.

    I often see this Coyote hunting in this pasture

    I often visit local wildlife areas where the migrating birds frequent on their journey to more temperate climate. This picture was taken with my Z9 with a 180-600mm lens mounted. The ponds were calm this morning and presented beautiful reflections. I framed this photo to balance the top and bottom of the subject and left room for them to continue on to the left. The rule of thirds governed the composition.

    This photo was taken with an iPhone 15. Proof that the best camera is the one you have with you.

    I love the serenity of the photo, the bird within the context of the environment, and the color pallet. Beautiful!
