Virginia Rail, lifer bird i got lucky seeing and photographing on last day of 2025. If the 300 with 2x TC can produce results close to this, the 600GM bazooka will go, but i don't know. We'll see soon. Just tired of lugging 600F4 around (no tripod or monopod, just black rapid sling), almost taking the joy out of it but then this Virginia Rail poses for me, almost makes it all worth it.
