Nikon D500 Backyard Bird Photography with the 200-500 Lens!

I do bird photography from my back porch using my beloved old Nikon D500 and the Nikkor 200-500 telephoto zoom lens. I end up bagging several photos that I liked of both songbirds and chipmunks.

I still love my D500 I wish it had animal eye detect but other than that me personally I couldn’t ask for a better camera. It does everything I want or ask of it.

Must be said It's not a dull garden. Sometimes accidents happen. Hope with your new arrived Canon R7 (and Canon R6 II) the story continues. Chipmunks, birds, lovely nature and Heather nearby, life ain't that bad. Autumn leaves are falling, for birds It's easier to spot them. Winter is not even yet begun but it must be said I'm longing for Springtime. White snow reflects nature in a beautiful way but as in a song Baby it's cold outside..

I swear I have some chipmunks living between my floor and the basement ceiling.... can hear them rolling nuts and scurrying around late at night... lol

I forgot to mention I got a D500 about 2 weeks ago from MPB and I am loving it. 2 years ago I bout a Nikon D5600, and WOW what a difference!! I am keeping the 5600 since it is paid for.. as a back up. Growing up with 35mm film I have to say it is nice to shoot it all knowing you can just delete the bad ones. :)

Great shots! The D500 holds up well! I still have and shoot with the 200-500 on my Z6ii. It is heavy. My arms were aching at the airshow but was worth it to get the shots!

Nice video! I love the Carolina Wrens and the Chickadees who frequent my backyard. I sold my D500 when I got the Z9. My favorite combo right now for birding is the Z9 & the 500pf.

Loved it! I always enjoy a good ol dust off the old gear and see what we can do episode. Looking forward to the R6ii content, but you better not put me in more debt 😤 😒 🤣.

nice video. I just love the Carolina Wrens. Such lively little ones and they always brighten up my day. I shoot the D500 and 200-500 combo and it does perform far above its pay grade for sure.

Hi Phil, it is good to see your Nikon gear in action. Thanks for sharing why you have also invested in Canon equipment because I was wondering, like many others I'm sure. I do enjoy your photos and storytelling using all of the camera systems, but I have to say, as a Nikon owner myself, I favour your work with Nikon above the rest. I hope you've recovered fully from your fall too. All the best!

Wow, sounds strange to hear that equipment as described as “oldie but goodie “, but I guess time moves on. I have still hung on to my 200-500 and it actually seems to perform better on my Z6ll

I've been getting a good arm workout carrying the 200-500 around on my Z9, it's also a very heavy combination! I have a monopod but I tend to walk around forests and I found it limiting when I need a quick shot. I've been enjoying the eye tracking on the Z9 but haven't compared it directly against an R7.
