This is my 10th year of birding and bird photography. To celebrate this feat, I will be striving to see 110 bird species and photograph at least 100 of them. My main tools will be, my babe Candace II, (Canon 7D II) paired mostly with a Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM aka Big Selma Canon EF-s55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II, which I acquired this year. The plan is to create a photo book at the end of the year. Let's see how it goes.
