From last summer. Junior had just finished devouring the latest offering and dad was on the nest for less than three minutes before he was off to find and bring back more.

A Barking Owl display at Taronga Zoo from a year ago that I'd forgotten to process and post. This is a 23 shot flight sequence, about 1.15sec burst at 20fps, that shows the remarkable ability of the 180-600 + Z8 combo. As I didn't have the lens on a tripod, I couldn't zoom very well whilst tracking and thus didn't zoom much. I started at 410mm and zoomed back to 380mm but the bird was moving so fast especially as it got closer, I had to abandon any attempts to zoom back further.

This is awesome. It's like parents complaining about the grocery bill. I'm going to the gulf shores in the Summer hoping I will be able to find some ospreys.

Excellent Monarch images Gary! These are as good as they get. Thank you. You’ve inspired me to post more of mine.
Would you happen to know the species of flower in the second image? Seems I have seen it many times. Oh, is that the Common Milkweed?
All your work with the 180-600 has sold me. I’ll soon test one, and probably replace my 200-500 by the upcoming Season.
I work off a tripod or monopod around and inside my wildflower area. The close focusing of the zoom and that focal-length-range are ideal for my shooting into the wildflowers without disturbing the insect.
