Scooter, just a suggestion. I find that if I want to shoot birds in flight, I use TV mode and AI Servo. I set the shutter speed to at least 1/1000 sec, sometimes more. The reason that I use TV mode is that using AV mode, you will not usually get the shutter speed required to "stop motion" for the wings. You can capture the actual bird moving by panning with the bird and this will work for all of the bird except for the wing movement. I always try to "lead" the bird while panning so that when I click the shutter, it is most likely to be captured in the left third or so of the image, giving it room to at least appear to be flying into the right side of the picture.
I will still use AV mode for shooting birds that are not flying, e.g., sitting on the next, walking or standing on the ground, etc.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't tried TV mode yet but I'll do that next. I have a question-everyone says there may be noise in the first photo but my ISO was at 200 for both photos, but the shutter speed was a little slower on the second one. Are there certain settings to avoid that create noise other than a high ISO?
