Yes he is a fish eating machine if we let him. Makes me nervous about all the bones so i don't like to very often, but they have an amazing digestive system. Our rottweiler was the same way. We gave him a lot of fish back in the day. If we caught a white bass we would throw it to him, he would catch it and next thing you knew there was a tail wiggling as it went down. Boats would go by and see that and freak out. If we gave Hoss (our late rottweiler) a drum (aka stone perch), when he was done eating it he would cough up a little pearl colored chip/flake which was not digestable. The bottom of our boat was covered with the little pearl flakes.

Our late dog Ruger liked his fish cooked. He would stick his head in the bucket with the fish, but never ate them.
A few from today.
He fluffed up for the shot
Really liked this nuthatch image.
Been dabbling with shooting the Tamron hand held some and finding it very capable of getting sharp images. I realize now how using burst mode is a good idea hand held to up the chances of getting a stable shot.

The D7200 came in today and had time to try it out some. Started out with the 18-140 and found it to be a little loose on the mount but not too bad. That lens is tight as can be on my 7000, so i worried it might be looser on the Tamron. When i put it on there i did find it to be pretty loose. You know that just irritates the snot out of me to spend that kind of money and have a camera/lens rattle like that. I hate to be "that guy" and send the camera back so i guess i'll learn to deal with it.
I didn't really know what to expect coming from a 5 year old camera and it's going to take me a little time to get some stuff figured out. Hopefully i'll warm up to it as time goes by.
Anyhoo, enough whining, here are a few pics

Thanks for sharing that Mike, i appreciate it.
A little buyer remorse set in when things didn't go as smoothly as i hoped with the camera. It'll work itself out over time.
Our recently planted corn didn't turn out too good with all the rain. As a hobby farmer perfect planting conditions make you look good; otherwise things look a lot different. With all the rain we're getting it may be a while before we can get back in and replant the upper half of this field.
Winter rye is the cereal grain of choice for wildlife management. As a cover crop it produces excellent nutrients for the soil and re-seeds itself while feeding the deer all through the winter.
We maintain around six acres of clover for the wildlife. Durana white clover variety produces lots of forage spring through mid winter in our area and is the most valuable crop we have for the deer and other wildlife. If we had to choose between the clover or corn we would have to choose the clover because of the consistent forage it provides for most of the year.
Deer, rabbits, turkey and lots of other wildlife love the variety of clover and rye around the corn field, creek, along wooded edges and even our yard.

Thank you Michael,
Beautiful shots!
Thank you!
It's been a learning experience with the new camera. Rainy, cloudy conditions have been the norm lately and when there was some light to work with i had been shooting a new spot (bird station 2). It has tree canopy above and around it so the lighting has been different than what i'm used to on the deck where there is open light. So shooting the 7200 in unfamiliar lighting left me not seeing what i expected from the camera; and today turned out to be a good lesson and a relief in how well the camera can do when the light is good. The rain let off and the sky brightened up enough to get a few shots in before the next round of showers.
