Very true You are going to have to teach me use of my camera. Have most of it down. Can turn it on, have it set on auto, know how to focus and zoom. Know how to get the little pic screen turned on. That's about it, 1,000 more buttons to learn.
Nikon cameras I should be able to figure out most of the controls on them. Think you have a D7200? I've nearly pulled the trigger on one of them, myself.
Nikon has a new zoom lens, 200-500mm, that is moderate in cost, at $1300, and is getting rave reviews on its optical quality. You used to have to spend $3k to $8k to get the same quality of telephoto. I'll probably get one, at some point. Probably a new camera body, too.
And yeah the green jays are colorful birds. I'll probably bring my current long lens, in case any of them, or other interesting critters show up.
