Thanks everyone for all the likes. The bird was dead center of the frame and this is a huge crop. I cannot get over how sharp this shot is. I think it is safe to say I have a very good copy of the 200-500 Lens.
I think (not that I'm biased) that the D500 and the 200-500 are probably the best wildlife combination on the market at this time. This shot encapsulates for me, all that is great about the combination even at higher ISO's.

Not for nothing, but the D500 and 500mm f5.6 PF is a pretty fine combination as well. And I don't have to join Crossfit in order to lug it around for a day.
Just got my D500 & 200-500mm Lens a few weeks ago. Had some health issues for a few weeks & then it has been rainy & cold so I didn't get out much. This is probably my best shot so far.
