Thanks cmc65, I was using center spot, speed was 1/1600, I was sitting (as I can no longer stand in one place very long). I'll move the feeder closer and try again. I do gently squeeze the shutter so that I wouldn't shake the tripod. I did pre focus. I should have added all of this info at the beginning, thanks, all good info.
One more thing to reduce vibrations... use a remote trigger. That way, you don't have to touch the camera after you get all setup. When the bird arrives, press the button on the remote.
