I always use burst mode. my d80 can do 3 to 5 shots per second , i think. and i still get some blur photo. this i do photo edit using acdsee. i crop, adjust exposure and sharpen 25%. and i shoot them in the park or fields. :) i used to have nikon 18-200 and last yr got tamron 150-600mm. for bird shooting. i would suggest using 400mm+. using 200mm is not easy. since if you try to get closer the bird will just fly away.
