Keep Playing with the camera (get it off auto)I usually use shutter priority or full manual for static birds I use F stop I like and shutter speed of 640 and up BIF shutter speed of 1600 and up my camera doesn't like high ISO so I set it to ISO max 800 on auto ISO

 

think the sandpipers are Lesser Yellowlegs but I'm no expert on shore birds

The first 5 were on auto. The rest I put on custom. I took like 60 shots on different settings. I deleted over 60%. I need to bring a pad to write on and write what settings I used for each pic.

 

Lesser Yellowlegs

 

Thanks. I was driving bye and seen them in a water sand pit. Stopped and clicked a few pics. Not sure the guy behind me was happy.LOL

You can see in the last three the eye focus is way better and clarity too

photoshop does wonders too

I'll play that game

your focus point was on the back of the duck

Make sure the focus point is on the eye if possible, after that it doesn't matter if 50% of the bird is out of focus, the picture can still work. Easier said then done though!
