Just got my 500L today, and decided to take it out for a spin.

I guess if I'm going to shoot these fidgety little dinosaur things, I should learn what they are, but for now, I'll call them birds.

The first one is easy. In following POTN tradition, you must shoot a duck, so here it is. Weird looking duck though.

The rest of these over caffeinated creatures I will need a little help with from you guys.

The 500 is fun to use and takes nice shots. Good luck with the upgrade! Looks like after your "duck" you've got a mockingbird, robin, song sparrow, and another mockingbird.

Congrats on the new gear. The first is a Mute Swan, not a duck...
