New Telephoto Lens-长镜头

Dec. 5, 2021

We always felt our 70-300 mm lens was not powerful enough to get a clear picture of wildlife in the far distance on the previous trips. We had eyed a new Sony 200-600 mm Telephoto Zoom Lens for a while, and we bought it when it was on sale this holiday season. To check it out, we went to a birdwatching place in Phoenix, Tres Rios Wetland. The 700 Acre wetland is connected to the Phoenix water treatment plant. Tres Rios consists of a flood protection levee, pump station, overflow wetlands, mesquite forest, and open water marsh areas. There are an abundant amount of birds in the area. Seeing a Great Blue Heron was chasing a white Snowy Egret on the river was a treat. A significant number of Neotropic Cormorants were flying over the sky constantly. The lens worked great, but we just need more practice shooting fast-moving objects in a far distance.
