[QUOTE="PhilM_TX, post: 728693, member: 45839"] These were from a clear day last week, during lunch break. No birds to be seen on my normal route, so I stopped the car next to a creek and was admiring the blooms of a Bradford Pear Tree (I think?). While watching the blooms move gently in the breeze, I noticed some additional movement - that of bees starting their pollination exercise. I was across the creek, roughly 30 feet from the tree, so I grabbed a 1.4x TC from my console an inserted it between my Baby Z (Z50) & 500PF & figured, WT*... Let's see if I can capture a bee from such a distance.
