Nikon D850 Bird Photography at the Chickamauga Dam in Tennessee! I Finally Got One! 200-500mm

I bought a used Nikon D850 in 2024! The D850 is a great camera. It does not have some of the modern features that are common in today's cameras like bird eye detect autofocus but it does have a really great full frame back-side illuminated (BSI) image sensor with no optical low-pass filter and 45.7 megapixels. I bought the camera to do landscape photography and that sensor and the ability of the camera to go down to 64 ISO without going into an extended range should be great for that type of photography. Today it was bright and sunny so not the best weather for landscapes but I wanted to get out with my new used Nikon and do some photography so I went to the Chickamauga Dam and worked on bird photography for a couple of hours using the D850 and my 200-500 telephoto zoom lens that I have owned for years.
