I use this as a neck strap. I believe you can also use this as a shoulder strap: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094ZL5X21/ BUT, I highly recommend buying rings which provide a much more secure connection than tying a knot or loop with the straps. I got these right away after I dropped my B6000 after one of these straps that was tied on slipped off: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JVW6FQ/

Lifer chasing after work, but the Thick-billed Vireo managed to hide from me again. https://ebird.org/checklist/S151312172

I took a day off from chasing lifers, and had a great day at my favorite place in the world: https://ebird.org/checklist/S151200327

I enjoy getting good Carolina Wren audio: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609481998

I don't remember having seen a Loggerhead Shrike with the brown wing patches: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609481032

Taken this afternoon in Jupiter, Florida:

This is my least favorite county hotspot. It may have potential for additional species, but I find the place very boring. I only keep going back to get a Wild Turkey county lifer, and I keep missing. Today was a frustrating matter of timing. Hikers told me that turkeys showed up in the parking lot area 40 minutes before, and 10 minutes after I arrived. Not much else to talk about here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S151085347 Always great to get a lifer, (the Golden-winged Warbler) especially on the first chase. This spot has a lot more to offer, but I spent most of the time under a few trees looking for the GWWA: https://ebird.org/checklist/S151102231

A failed mission to get a Thick-billed Vireo lifer. Conditions were good for the chase today, so I'm disappointed. Since a number of birders have seen the TBVI the last few days in the exact spot I was looking for it, I think it was there, but I was unable to spot it. It was otherwise a decent checklist for the ground covered, and I got some excellent audio: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150968676

I continue to be an Alder Flycatcher magnet. Regarding the "self found" status, the bird had been found by others at this exact location, but I wasn't looking for it. I just felt like throwing that out there. 🙂 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/609369267
