I have the same problem when I'm at the races. Try switching to manual focus and see if that helps.

Another thing you might want to try is using a wide open aperture. This will create a shallow depth of field, making the background out of focus and your sharp subject will stand out.

Looks like you're having fun with your new lens. Experiment and keep posting the results.

I started with auto-focus then would switch to manual and try to dial it in. What a PITA. Get the fence out then have the camera focus on a leaf next to the animal's head instead of the head. I need to learn how to do depth of field, there is no doubt about that. I will keep trying.
