Where are you located and what types of birds? That has become a specialty of mine. Let me know.

There is one fellow that comes to mind his name is Regis he lives in Idaho. Put his name in the search link on this site and see what happens. There's no guarantee.
I agree. Regis does excellent bird photography.

Sorry for being more specific...what I meant was that it is different than shooting product, landscape or people that can stand still. Bird photography takes a ton of time and patience waiting for those little buggers to land on a birdfeeder. It would be shooting birds eating, landing and flying around a products that we sell. It wouldn't be birds in flight. Thank you all for replying, its appreciated :-)
You may have understated the part about "a ton of time and patience". I shoot that same scenario in the 2nd story of a nearby tree. It reminds me of flying: long periods of extreme boredom bracketed by shear, stark, mayhem! A person can sit for long periods with no activity and all of a sudden the fleet comes in! There might be more birds than you can count and they do not stay put very long. Shooting happens very quickly with little time spent on a shot. With a shooting area that begins at 3' and extends to 8' from the shooter's position focus is usually done in separate zones. People think it's easy until they try.
