I started the same journey about 2 years ago. I ultimately ended up with the Canon R7. Use Sigma 18-150mm and 150-600mm lenses. Camera body was purchased through canon and lenses bought used/new in box. Am not even close to being proficient in all of the features, but getting better with time and having fun learning. All of the above would fit your budget. One thing to consider with Nat Parks and Wildlife is that the 150-600 is big to lug around, but a large lens is necessary if wildlife is going to be your main use.
Thanks. Looks like it is all subscription based now, but will give it a shot.
Thanks for posting. Is the lightroom subscription you mention the basic 9.99 per month or other? Thanks again for all of the info.
What is this project? Seem to be clearing and filling about 200 yard wide swath through the swamp. Looks to be larger than your typical powerline.
Started same process recently and have really gotten into taking pics more than killing as someone else mentioned. My Setup is a canon 80D (second hand, but never used) that i picked up for about $400. Also used sigma 100-500mm. Am about $1100 into body and lens. Am a complete novice and have alot to learn, but starting to get the hang of it. What is interesting is that my cellphone camera using magview attachment with binoculars on a tripod takes more vibrant images, especially in lower light. You will never get the same detail and backround as correctly using a full camera body, but the phone sensors have really come a long way. Magview attachment might be a good place to start.

Tried many of them. Magview is the only one that is practical in most situations. Its expensive for a piece of plastic but easy to use. have the bino and spotting scope attachments. Get a tripod or monopod and bino adapter as well
