Hello! I am in the Western NY area. Back in 2023, I started watching the local bald eagles here, which sparked my interest in wildlife photography. I started with the Canon R10 and 100-400 lens, and after a trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier, quickly realized that I need more reach. Next, I purchased a Sigma 150-600, used that for a year, and recently was able to purchase the RF200-800 lens for even more reach.
