I'm a member of Digital Photography School and I found this article interesting for Bird Photographers.
Some may know that I like to have 100% control of my shutter speed when shooting birds therefore I use Manual or Shutter Priority and NOT Aperture Priority, because if the camera chooses a slow shutter, I get a blurry shot and it's lost. With a set shutter speed (1/500th for still and up to 1/4000 for BIF) I get more keepers by having sharp images for editing.
It gives me better results and I know a lot still prefer AP. I did notice a reference to Back Button Focus and that's been set on my cameras for the last decade. No more half press for focusing for me
