It has been a delightful and wonderful three weeks journey of photographing birds in their natural habitat. I started on May 24, 2022 at a Rookery in Ocean City, NJ . I have been to 6 sites altogether and my shots have been handheld. It has been rewarding to hand hold the camera but sometimes, one needs a tripod for steady and detailed birds in flight. Today, my two photos of a ruby throated hummingbird show that. Toni.
