Night and day difference, you need all the help you can get.
No time to shut off ignition and shoot? Birding is a hobby/job to test your patience. I drive window down, with camera on beanbag, 99% ready to shoot.
Time of day(atmospheric condition), subject size and distance all affects your outcome.
Also, try resting the lens/body on a beanbag(anything in this link is good; https://www.google.com/search?q=bean+bag+camera+support&biw=1266&bih=746&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=3GWxVPmyDo6togSg9oHYCA&ved=0CDEQsAQ) over the car window, with ignition OFF.
Steve, this is exactly what I do. I have a big bean bag that goes over the car window frame. Usually though, I have to hand hold to track them flying. I can't stay on the BB for long. Again, I get the shutter speed up there...
Distance is definitely a factor.. To fill the frame on the flying shots often requires 100% crops or close to it. I have tried shooting with TC's on both lenses and while it can be ok for still shots, it tends to make the BIF shots even worse.
Should I be trying to shoot them wide open or more stopped down? Which AF-C mode do you like for this scenario?
