That 2nd one of the House Finch feeding the youngster is over the top George! I said "Wow!" when it first hit my brain. My guess on the last one is a new Mockingbird. Do you know? Yes, your images are always among the very best.

Are you a a big fan of the 50-400? I have the 50-300 but it's Sony mount and they don't make it in Nikon and I've been deliberating on selling it and picking up something in the native mount and eyeing this. -Lance

Hey Lance, it was my favorite lens in E mount where I shot it extensively for the last year on A7RV, and now that I’ve made the Z8 my main cam I purchased a Z mount copy of the 50-400 and it is every bit as good. Both of my copies are sharp across the frame throughout the zoom range. VR in combo with Z8’s IBIS is working well for me for handholding (better than on the Sony). The build quality is nice with a smooth well-damped zoom and the size/weight is not bad considering the range. The 50-99mm range has proven very useful for me and helps minimize lens changes.
I do also have the Tamron 50-300 in E mount and it’s great when needing a lighter hiking telephoto, still with quite good IQ, but these days I prefer having the 50-400 in the backpack, it’s just a total workhorse lens for how I see and it always delivers the goods. I’ve been super productive with it.
Norway is a spectacle of nature, considering the archipelagos alone (over 200,000 islands). Reliable sources report that Polar Bears are adapting to Norway's Svalbard islands.
I would love to see more images of Norway posted on FM.
