This month marks my one year anniversary with the Nikon Z9 and 800mm f/6.3 VR S. I upgraded from a Nikon D500 paired with a 200-500mm f/5.6E VR that had been my primary bird and wildlife kit since 2018. I'm celebrating by sharing a selection of favorite wildlife and bird photos from the last 12 months. All were made in northern Arizona, USA near the village of Mormon Lake.
