Thank you @Wink Jones! I'm getting somewhat better with the hardware, but a lot to learn with the software. Post-processing is something that I am trying to find the time to really learn.

Lots of good videos on Youtube. Our fearless BackCountry leader Steve has many excellent courses too. Another of my favorite places to learn lots of great things about Lightroom and Photoshop is KelbyOne.

Just got my Z9 today and took it out for a test run. Shooting with an EVF is definitely an adjustment coming from the D850, but the Z9 EVF is far better than the Z6 I had, I'm sure I'll adjust soon. The AF was impressive, not without faults though. Using Wide-Large with Animal detect on it picked up most birds in flight, and shorebirds wading, but some really small or distant shorebirds it had trouble with. Super excited to get after it more with this thing

A couple from the back yard earlier this morning. Had about an hour to get some photos, company here!
Both with Z9, 400/2.8TC S
This guy didn't help with birds coming in! I think a Coopers Hawk
Male Ruby-throat was very skittish!

Got some Cooper's Hawks last night. These shots last night made me question if I've ever actually taken a sharp image in my life before this

. The compression here degrades it, but this is at a 100% crop and absolutely razor sharp. AF nailed it. Z9 and 600mm F4

Random shots over the last couple months of playing with the Z9. First three shots are with the Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Sports DG OS HSM Lens for Nikon. Other three are from 500pf.
This is the same Great Horned Owl just different with her on the nest.
