Hi Shay,
Good to hear that the camera is on order. On the mode switch of the camera is a position 'C', whatever you save to this position is remembered by the camera until you change it.
Firstly switch on the camera and put the mode switch to Av (apeture priority), press the 'FUNC' button and set the following:
Exp: -1/3 (better to underexpose a picture)
White Balance: AWB or cloudy or sunny (try different settings for conditions)
Drive Mode: High speed shoot (the middle icon)
ISO Speed: AUTO or 50 or 100 (dependent on conditions, try not to use over 100)
Effect: Off
Exposure type: Center Weighted Avg. or Spot
Image Size: 2592X1944 (L) quality superfine
Once these are set press the 'FUNC' button again. On the 4-way controller press down until 'MF' is displayed on the screen, then use the right direction until the focus bar on the screen is almost at infinity. Push the zoom control so you have minimum zoom then press the 'MENU' button, from here set the following:
AF Frame: Centre
Red-eye: Off
Spot AE Point: AF Point
MF-Point Zoom: On
AF-assist Beam: Off
Digital Zoom: Off
Review: 2 Sec
Reverse Disp: On
C Save Settings...: select Save
Press the 'MENU' button again and all these settings are now locked into the 'C' mode. Rotate the mode button to 'C' and you will be asked to 'Change Settings', press the 'SET' button and all the changes you made will now be enabled.
What I do to take a picture is find your bird and focus the scope as you would normally, then put the camera on the scope and switch it on. Once you have pressed the 'SET' button whilst in 'C' mode I then fine focus with the scope, if required change the zoom and press the cable release and take about 3 or 4 shots, re-check/re-position/re-focus and take 3 or 4 more. Practice in the garden etc with a can etc that has writing on (allows you to check how good your focus is), and get used to changing some of the settings (ISO speed, White Balance) if conditions change (sun, cloud etc). One thing to remember is that the MF-zoom will enlarge the centre of the screen and only when the shutter is pressed half way you get the true image of how your subject will be framed/zoomed.
Hope this helps, some of these will be a lot clearer once you have the camera and manual, read and re-read the manual to get used to changing settings.
Best of luck
Pete :~}
