Thank you @Iansky. I really don't need it. It has some features that I think I would enjoy, but I'm pretty happy with the D500. I didn't put my name down, my husband did. Nice of him to encourage me to spend my money on myself (because he's certainly not spending HIS money on my behalf! ;-) )...

In spite of all the tension and action, this was actually a really peaceful, almost slow-motion scene. I had never seen anything like this before, this synchronized feeding, almost like a dance.
