American Redstart, Bankston County Park
Just back from a business trip I had the desire to go out and look for some wildlife yesterday evening . The steep and wooded river valley in Bankston County Park has been a good spot many times before and in the month of May there is often a good chance to get some warblers in front of the lens. Both species I found will probably breed in this area and there was a lot of calling going on.
It was the first time I didn’t bring the tripod and relied completely on my handholding capabilities and the amazing focus system of a new Nikon Z 6 III. It was very windy, even in the valley, and these little birds never seem to hold still, but I had a good number of sharp shots I could choose from for this blog post. I have used the new Z6 III since two weeks now and all I can say is, I’m very impressed with its focus system after extensive testing with the long lens and the teleconverter attached.
