For my bird photos, I use a Nikon D2X Camera and a Nikon 600mm or 200-400mm lens. If you want to improve your success rate at bird images, I usually recommend a lens of at least 400mm. I started shooting birds with a Sigma 400mm f5.6 APO lens, and I never regretted it. It's a very sharp lens and very reasonably priced. It's also important to get yourself completely concealed when you're shooting so that the birds can't see you. They'll get a lot closer to you that way. I noticed that you're from the Memphis area. I'm just down the river a bit in Vicksburg, Mississippi, so it's likely that we'll see a lot of the same birds. If I can give you any more help, just Note me.
