Welcome aboard!

Great choice!  The OM-10 is *wonderful* as a "starter" camera.  If you hang
around here long 'nuff, though, you'll be hankering for two...  uhhh...
three...  hmmm...  maybe four of the other OM bodies!  :-)

You're going to need a *big* telephoto to get anything useful at 50 yards. 
I used the 75-150/4 and the 200/4 (all Zuiko, of course!) for my birding
shots, but it's at a *much* closer distance....  'bout 15-20 yards at most.

Have fun!  Let us know how your birding shots turn out!

Regards,

Chris
