Thank you for your comments John, Frank, and Christine.
I went out yesterday afternoon to re-shoot for an hour or so with
the A* 300 ƒ4 and the DA* 200 ƒ2.8 with various TCs, but I got
nothing worthy. Took the TCs for the Tamron 300 ƒ2.8 in my kit, but
forgot and left the lens at home in the closet. Duh. Double DUH!
Leaving now to go see what could have been 1/2 of my GFM plane fare,
a Fleetwood Mac concert. I'll let you know if I loved it or regret
it.
Well, it was certainly louder than my home system can go. Except for
two covers, it was all their top hits. Love Mick Fleetwood as a
performance percussionist. Lindsey Buckingham is an accomplished
guitarist, though I'm not a fan of his "wall of sound" style,
preferring a more deliberate use of the instrument, like David Gilmour
of Pink Floyd. Stevie Nicks (Stephanie as Mick called her after the
encore) had a little more nasal sound than I'm used to hearing. Might
have had a bit of congestion.
Here's a review from a March performance:

So, I loved the concert, but not as much as I would have (and will in
the future) a weekend at GFM.
Next year...

Spent a few minutes at this watering hole nearby and caught a flash
of
red. Had to stay a while and capture the male redwing that was
searching the ground for food. Ducks were extra.
