July 06--Montgomery County, Maryland--McKee-Besher Sunflower Management Field has three huge fields dedicated to growing sunflowers. The main purpose is to provide seeds for mourning doves. Hunting season for the doves is in late fall. In addition, the seeds provide nutrition for other birds and mammals in the area as well as for bees and insects.
Although there are acres and acres of sunflowers, my favorite photos are close-ups. Was working with the Nikkor 80-400mm lens with a teleconverter which turned the lens into a 640mm lens. It was heavy carrying this setup through the field especially it was mid-day and close to 90 degrees. However it was challenging and fun, dealing with the high in the sky sun and the heat. All shot on the Nikon Z6
