Thanks Alan, I am going to order the 2X from Amazon and give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the 200-500mm f5.6 with my 1.4x lll for image quality, but it is heavy and I can't carry it far. ...

Having fed the chicks off on another hunt

Great lens, what camera did you use?

Yes Tucson area. I did see the dead chick it was missing the head and was unable to identify it. It was gone the next morning. I'll get several more weeks of good shots of this pair of Harris ...
