I don't usually shoot birds but I had the 70D and the new Sigma 70-200 2.8 APO OS with me as I drove by the park so I thought I'd give it a try.

These were all at 200mm, f4, and cropped quite a bit. I was using Spot metering and Auto Select 19 Point AF with the center point selected. AI Servo.

I was impressed with how well it was able to track the geese with as much as was in the background, even when they flew behind a tree!

Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Nothing special here, thought it turned out pretty sharp though.
