This is where shooting 8-fps is a huge help. You might keep both eyes open so that you can see the bird approaching.

I learned this while shooting horse jumping. when only looking through view finder, you often find yourself taking a wild guess at what's about to happen. Or you find yourself watching and waiting till last minute to lift your camera to your eye to get the shot.
keeping both eyes open pretty much allows one eye to see the subject approaching, and just as they leave sight of one eye, they enter the sight of the other eye.
and you don't look goofy with half your face all scrunched up while shooting.
great advice dave.
