I learned a couple of years ago that it's no use trying to focus on a bird in flight. I'm not that fast, and autofocus is even slower. So now I focus on the background ahead of time. Still, a bird flying is moving pretty fast, so getting an image that's not totally blurred is challenging. I'm pleased with the one below - what marvelous wings he has!
The egret flew from one spot to another several times while I was taking his picture. I don't think I upset him much; he seemed pretty calm until a family with children showed up. Then he took off to find a less crowded area.
