Makin' Momma Angry

I was testing my skills at hand holding my telephoto lens with my camera set at 1/60. Turns out I stink at that. However, while I was out in my yard I realized we have MORE baby birds in the nest! Momma and Pappa were busy this year! I was trying to photograph the little baby head sticking out when Momma began squaking at me and flying at my head.
I got one shot of her that was worth sharing. All the baby shots are mostly nest and you wouldn't know there was a baby in there if I didn't tell you.

Neat bird portrait. Good hand held 300 mm. I sometimes use a monopod (a "one legged" tripod) or a heavy string attached to the tripod socket. The string needs to be 5-6 ft long. Pull the camera up until the string is taut and hold the camera tightly against your face. While these methods aren't as steady as a good tripod, they are better than nothing and are very easy to carry.
