Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Thank you ๐
It was about this time I bought my Nikon D850 which, for many reasons, has much superior noise control than the Nikon D7200 I took this with. However, image processing technology has moved on so much that I find myself less concerned with noise now than ever before. I think, if I was taking this shot today, I would probably shoot at ISO 2000 on the D850 to give me the extra shutter speed. What I really need is f/4 500mm ๐
It's certainly true that newer sensors allow you to push ISO much more than in the pas and that FF can go further than a crop sensor. This makes it a lot easier to keep shutter speed up. I just wish that people didn't claim high shutter speeds are the cost of entry for these types of photos.
You hit the other nail in the head - fast glass makes a world of difference.
