its good to be back in the field. i only took a short walk today (very windy) manual focus isn't the best way to focus but for birds in flight it is the only way.
As far as the focusing goes, I would have thought that AF on your XTi would have done just fine. With your shake issues, Mike, I would think that the less you actually touch the camera, the better - to reduce camera shake, especially when zoomed in. That probably holds true to everyone to some extent, that's why we use tripods and such.
