I recently bought a used D500 so I thought I would take it out to Boundary Bay, British Columbia. Considering my last body was a D3300, this is definitely an upgrade! I came across a starling nest right off the main trail and watched both the parents make countless trips back and forth. This time the baby starling was especially eager and came into the light. It was nice to get out in the sun again after so much rain.

. A fun time of year with nesting birds too. It's nice to see a natural-ish nest (utility pole?) with cavity nesters. Fun interaction, and the timing of the food exchange is just right. A bit noisier than I would like, and the fine detail not quite there. If that spot allows it, now that the chicks are showing, you could move well to your right, get sun angle lined up up to the subjects, and create neat parallel shots with a good clean BG for subject separation. Anyhow, these types of nest sites offer tons of good opportunities!
