First, a special "Thank you" to @Ken Miracle and @Wink Jones for their kind hospitality during our visit to Boise, Idaho!
Wink met us at a local park and showed us around. Unfortunately, my Z9 decided to stop focusing that day! UGH! Wink and I traded lenses and confirmed that the Z9 - not the 400 f4.5 - was the trouble maker. Still, I tried a few shots while focusing manually. After checking settings and removing the battery and cleaning contacts, I finally re-set the camera to default settings. Then I re-loaded my customized settings from a spare card. Magically - the Z9 began focusing again!
The next morning, Justin and I made a quick stop at the park. Unfortunately, I didn't have my tele that morning. However, I did manage to get this handheld shot of a male wood duck across the lake in over cast light and in heavy, messy vegetation.
Z9, 400mm f4.5, f4.5, 1/3200, ISO 9000

Nice habitat shot!
