[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 846659, member: 50197"] It's one of those things I would have tried last year, when I first got my Z8, but I was using the F mount tele on it, and you have to have a z mount lens for it to work. It might come in handy for other birds in flight situations, but I was just afraid that it would be too limiting unless I had a situation that the birds were reliably flying at a given distance. I may give it a try in the field next time I'm out shooting BIF. I put up a bird bath this year. I tried it with and without a solar fountain. So far I have seen zero interest from any birds. The only activity I have seen is from the squirrels. The only interest I want to get from them is in moving to a different location than my back yard. The only thing I can figure is that my bird bath is a glass bowl, and perhaps it is too slippery for the birds to get a perch on, and so they avoid using it. I may try putting a rock in it that they can stand on comfortably. [/QUOTE]
