I always wondered why they called the SR-71 the blackbird... now I know, wow, these guys are fearless. This one was messing with a Red-tailed hawk. ;-) -- btw, if anyone can tell me why the red tail looks like he has gloves on, I would love to know (is it just mud??)5yr ⋅ rajmon503 ⋅ r/birdpics
I have been using my Z9 for about 6 months now (most recently pairing it with the 800mm PF lens). I would have not been able to get this shot with my old rig (D850 + 500mm PF).

What's this bird.... got on its cheek? Saw this American Goldfinch in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. It had this thing on its cheek. It also had weird upturned nails on two of its fingers... is it ok? Thanks in advance!4yr ⋅ rajmon503 ⋅ r/whatsthisbird
