There's a convenient function for toggling through the various AF patterns. You hit the button on the far right of the camera back and then there's a button just to the left of the shutter release to toggle the AF modes. You don't even need to look after a little practice.

For birds in flight and wildlife, I still almost always use the single-point spot. Even with the expanded spot there's too much risk that you'll catch some blue sky or a bit of brush and throw the focus off. For that stuff, precision is the way to go for AF.
