All my shots are handheld,esp the birding shots.The only time I would use a tripod ,is for digiscoping(obviously),and on the rare occasions I would use a 2x converter.To take the chance birding shot,a tripod really is a no go area.By the time one has set everything in place,the bird will have seen you and flown off.
I must admit,for landscape shots etc,perhaps one really should use a tripod,but I always forget to take it with me.
