In all probability, no. But it does depend on how the birds were lit. If the
sun was to you back (which doesn't sound like your situation), then it has a
good chance of being properly exposed. But any other type of light, noon,
backlight, from the left or right, would probably create a difficult exposure
situation. Many nature photographers use daylight fill flash with a
light-concentrating Fresnel lens in front of the flash to increase the guide
number at long distances. One is these is "Project-A-Flash"
But essentially your problem is that there will always be too much of an
exposure range even for negatlive film in the usual "bird in a tree" photo.
Good luck in any event. Try different lighting, flash, angles, times of day,
etc. and see how the results differ.
