This photograph was taken at the Venice Rookery in Florida handheld. It was taken with a Canon 20D with a 300mm f 2.8 Canon lens. AV mode 1/4000 sec, f6.3, -1 exposure compensation. I kept watching and waiting as this male took off from the nest, flew away and then came back with sticks for the female and their nest. If he brought back a good stick he was "rewarded".
