I show a setup for using 3 back buttons for auto focus on the Canon R5 mirrorless camera. This setup is versatile and works well in almost all bird and wildlife photography scenarios. This setup allows for obtaining focus on the subject in an instant by allowing for 3 AF methods: eye detect with tracking, Zone, and Spot to be at your thumb tip.
