I think in the future I'll forget AF and just use my eyes.

There is nothing wrong with using AF, just make sure that you have at least one of your subjects covered by the camera’s focus point. AF can be more accurate than aging eyes.

For birds in flight you may wish to consider using continuous auto
focus as the distance to the subject is continually changing.
