Yummy dried corn.

This poor coyote has a bad case of mange. She's kind of skinny, too. She was eyeballing the ducks and geese from the ice, but they were well aware of her presence.

Okay, since I'm on a roll, I shot 10 shots each at 1/6, 1/13/ 1/25/ 1/50 1/100 and 1/200 at 400mm hand held with Type (regular) 1 VC on. This is on the D500, so it would be equal to a 600mm on a full frame body. I picked the sharpest of each set to show here. VC is doing pretty well, because I...
