Very nice and sharp images. I had 2 pairs at my home, but they left a while ago, I'm only a little south of you.

Yes I mostly use a tripod for bird images but not for the reasons you might think.

The camera has IBIS, this lens has OSS and they work together (some of the newer cameras do this as well) so a tripod is not needed for stabilization.

Bird photography is mostly a waiting game and holding five pounds of camera at the ready is physically demanding over time. The tripod is for weight bearing and also to minimize movement such as raising the camera to my eye which tends to spook some of the more timid birds.

Also the tripod head is never locked to facilitate free movement as birds tend to be active. I mostly shoot at 1/500s or more which helps to eliminate camera/subject movement. Contrary to what many believe I keep stabilization on.
