Re: Bird in Flight
Try increasing your shutter speed a bit more. Start at least 1/300 if you are shooting birds in flight increase until you get the results you want. Don't be afraid to try 1/500 or 1/1000 even. Experiment with different shutter speeds and soon you will be getting those shots you are after. The 55-300 is a great lens.

Re: Bird in Flight
Try bringing your ISO up to 400, the lighting looks a bit dark and I think you need a faster shutter speed.
