Joan, I have 3 fluid heads, from a relatively light one to a Manfrotto 509, which is a hefty one designed to carry large video cameras. Mine all have domes (for fast, accurate leveling) but you can get them with a flat head. I bought mine for video work, where they are a must for smooth videos. However, they are also great for stills, especially for wildlife/sports/action where you have to track a moving subject. Here is a link for the Manfrotto 509. It might be an over kill for you, & the smaller (& less expensive) 500 & 502 models may be all that you need--both will carry a DSLR with a jumbo size lens. Earl.

Thanks so much. I would be using it primarily for birds. But would probably keep it on a tripod and use it instead of a ball head.

It would be fine for that.
