Ok...anyone live to share their technique? What sort of focusing mode, and any other camera and or lens settings?

I was putting the Fuji through its paces yesterday and while I got some good images of ground moving waders, my attempts to get good bird in flight images stalled. I sort of got this duck ( Teal?) but every time I pointed the camera towards the heavens I seemed to lose the critters as they changed direction in the wind.

I tend to use a small focus area and wondered if that's why I cannot keep them locked on as they move about a lot in the frame.

The other question is ....should I be backing off the focal length to keep better sighting of the birds movements in the viewfinder and then crop final image...as opposed to filling the frame and hoping it's flight stays predictable?
