I'll jump the gun with this one.

I've got nothing this week but more rifle porn.  I picked this up yesterday simply for a light, ''walkabout'' rifle.  Ruger M-77 in .308 Winchester, (7.62x51mm NATO).

The fall birding season has kicked off here.

Went to check on the hawks during a clear day in between the rains to find that all but one chick had left their nests.

Weather has been pretty wet here for the last month or so with just a few days of sun. I haven't been taking any photos worth posting here until a couple days ago when the sun finally came out long enough to go take a few photos of these Rough-legged Hawk chicks.

A few weeks ago there were two chicks in the nest. A Crested Auklet is the menu for the chick.

4 of 5 chicks left from this nest. 5 chicks is the most I've ever seen in one nest but, this is the first time I came upon this one. The other nest usually had 2 at the most.

Nikon claims that leaving d5300 on does not consume battery. That's a lie.
I added a power grip with 2 batteries to mine and can happily shoot hundreds over 2 days no problem
Maybe you can add a grip to yours?

The B600 doesn't have a grip accessory. It has extra batteries for about $28 though.

Hi, is it a common knowledge or is my filter having an issue?

The blurriness is very light but visible on comparative shots right on the camera screen, and I don't even have to zoom to the max

Probably. Post a couple photos, one with the polarizer and one without, taken one after each other of the same subject for a better answer. 

If the weather doesn't clear up in the next couple days, I don't think I'll get anything better than this female Rough-legged Hawk.

It's because the image quality is set to NEF (RAW). So, you will also need to choose the quality of the JPEG version in Menu > Photo Shooting Menu > Image Quality. e.g. NEF (RAW) + JPEG normal.
