**weekly wildlife Jan. 6-Jan 13**

My Sigma 500/4.5 APO EX DG is off to the factory. They have an A99 now and think that a circuit board replacement and firmware will improve its compatibility with the A99.

I found a bird guide app for my iphone with looped recordings of bird calls. I let it play the Black-capped Chickadee call and was able to stand feet away from them. Should be interesting to see if it works with others at the bird feeders like Cardinals.

Cheers,
