Thank you, Angela! I tried a tripod one time at the eagle's nest. Wouldn't you know, mom flew off the nest straight towards me, and landed on the riverbank below. As I tried to get the camera off the tripod, Trixie slipped out of her harness and we were right beside the road. Too scary!
I do get better shots if I can lean against something, like guardrail or car. I also do some editing :)
Thanks! I don't like the tripod either, too many legs to deal with, but I did buy a monopod that I find easier to use.
That had to be scary when Trixie escaped....
