I think the power of the zoom should be used not to get the greatest detail possible but merely as a way of getting closer to the bird without spooking it. I might take a couple of close ups of a bird if it is there but I much prefer to pull my zoom back and place it in its habitat.To me the camera and resulting photograph should be a way of expressing yourself and showing the beauty of the bird and nature. An in your face photo is more like a lesson in ornithology.
