I shouldn't make such statements because there is always the chance of a conversion! People do make up for past mistakes.

: I just checked my tools and found everywhere "Nikon" written on them...! The only exceptions are the tripod, the tripod head and few Sigma lenses that I don't use anyway (or very rarely)
!Oh wait!!! It may be not that bad - now I remember that I have several filters that are NOT Nikon

I don't think CR burns heretics at the stake so you'll be OK. I'm not even sure what the just punishment would be.

Yes, I know very well CR is not burning anyone (thanks God - in these times...............). You witnessed my very first posts and you perfectly know that I never hide what equipment I'm using (this was from the very beginning - I was asked and I did answer and you did comment on this).
More questions?

ISv your contributions are multitude and we're here for the love of the birds, and not the brand of the gear. I can't contribute the quality of shot that you do but I hope to catch up one of these days. 
Anyway, I'm shooting primarily for the fun of it as I'm sure you are too. That's probably the case for almost all of us since we're not commercial.

Speaking of fun. I always offer pics to worthy causes in case they have any use for them and also because I simply enjoy sharing. I live in a region that recently received a special designation. If you've heard of the fur trade in Canada and of the buffalo (bison) and the indigenous nations, then this will resonate.
"The Beaver Hills was designated as a biosphere on March 19, 2016 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This is a global recognition of a collective commitment by the communities within the region to celebrate and advance knowledge, culture, nature and economy together."

I'm tickled to be able to show off my modest contribution (you have to look hard) - as you scroll down the page the beaver background behind the topic "Videos" is my shot from my backyard.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, I don't think any birds of mine have been used but... It's a very worthy endeavour and I contacted them initially because of my fight with the county over their trapping of "my" beavers!

We went through that area once on an owl hunting photo trip to Canada. Lovely area! Got a picture of a Coyote and a bison there if I remember correctly--and we got skunked on the owls as wellSpeaking of fun.

It's unique but not as impressive as the Rockies etc. but I've always appreciated what it has to offer. Incidentally, I have yet to photograph any owl near my place although I know they exist. The Pileated WP has been one of my more regular and interesting birds. Speaking of those two here is my attempt to encourage somebody to become a resident. And my finally completed appartment is for rent.We went through that area once on an owl hunting photo trip to Canada. Lovely area!
