hegs, just keep shooting and keep posting. Get as close as you can to all the subjects you want to shoot. Be patient, develop woodscraft skills and the ability to take a single step in a five-minute period. Wildlife photography can be a lot like deer hunting -- the first one who moves loses.

If you can get close (even if you blow the pic, which I have done many, many times, it's great to be close to birds and animals), you have all the equipment you need to take great pics. I've seen some sweet and clear enlargements from the D30. You're doing just fine!
