I created a Birds deck not to long ago. This link will send you to post#4 (and skips past my whole meta analysis, but also does some in-depth analysis of the cards in the deck) which contains the final deck.

My deck was WUg though for BoP and Flurry of Wings , which was added after the fact.
It contained a nice combo in Kangee, Aerie Keeper + Aven Mimeomancer (which is helpful if your Soulcatchers' Aerie gets disenchanted..
It ran Aura of Silence over Disenchant (which any heavy white deck should). Or you should at least run Dismantling Blow for card draw.
You are running Windbrisk Raptor which is a major improvement to my deck, and Keeper of the Nine Gales which gives your deck more control.

I think the biggest problem is that you have too many lords, and not enough token creatures. I was using Flurry of Wings (we had a saproling deck in the MP group, and goblins, and elves, etc. It was fun to cast this when those players were attacking someone else, and then swing back at them with an army in the air) and Battle Screech (4 tokens isn't bad). I realize you have the angel, but she only gives you 1 1/1 per turn, if you hit your land drops each turn. You will also have a hard time bringing creatures back from your graveyard with Emeria. You barely have more than 7 plains in the deck anyway. If you had some dual lands it wouldn't be so bad, but it is going to be difficult to draw enough of your deck to get 7 plains into play because you have so few token producers.

You also might want to consider these two new cards from M11...
Roc Egg (it is a bird when it is a wall too, so you can sac it to draw a card from Seaside Haven).
Squadron Hawk (works well with Elixir of Immortality , its better than Welkin Hawk too)

I am also against the slots you are using for non-creature permanents. I think you would be better off playing with more birds, or more Instant control cards Shelter to protect Soulcatcher maybe, more Disenchant type cards, more WoG effects, etc.
2 x Phyrexian Vault (do you really need this? You already have Seaside Haven.)
2 x Serra's Blessing (is vigilance really necessary? I have found it useful myself sometimes, but you only get lifelink while attacking with the Raptor, and I usually find that my birds are getting wiped by WoG effects anyway. If you really want it Gustcloak Savior (bird soldier) or...
Courier Hawk / Skyshroud Falcon / Zephyr Falcon / Bay Falcon

I would personally do something like this...

-1 Elixir of Immortality you only need one. If you want more life gain... Aven Riftwatcher , no one wastes removal on them, so you are actually gaining 4 and prevent X 2/2s from attacking where X is the number of opponents with a 2/2
-2 Phyrexian Vault (you have Seaside Haven for this).
-2 Serra's Blessing (you won't be going on the offensive until the late game anyway)
-2 Disenchant
+2 Aura of Silence / Dismantling Blow
-2 Swords to Plow
+2 WoG effect of your choice Rout is one of my favorites

Creatures
+7 Birds or Bird Token Generators
-1 Crookcraw Elder
-1 Aven Brigadier

Lands
-1 Island (you only need one to cast your spells, and you can get from your cip tapped dual lands...I doubt you will be using the Seaside Haven ability more than once a turn as you need to use 3 land to do it and tap the Seaside Haven. I suppose you could use Shoreline Ranger instead of Terramorphic, but I wouldn't)

Possibly consider some of these land in place of Terramorphic Expanse
Azorius Chancery to help with mana, triggers Landfall, and make it easier to hit the high mana drops.
Calciform Pools mana storage to hit the high mana drops (this kind of sucks because it only produces colorless)
Mistveil Plains (to work well with Squadron Hawk)

I'm a huge fan of the Worldwake Man Lands and the Time Spiral storage lands for ally-colored decks.  I think by removing both islands, all four Terramorphic Expanse s and both Emerias (I don't think you have quite the number of Plains to trigger them at the moment).  In their place, I'd suggest 4 Celestial Colonnade and 4 Calciform Pools .  That will give you all of the mana fixing that you'll need plus a Serra Angel when you have the mana open for it.

edit: sry for the messed up links, it seems i am doing something wrong

The boards can't handle copy and paste very well.  If you copy and paste from gatherer, it messes up all your tags.  Why?  Who knows... probably could be blamed on bad coding.

You have to re-write the card title, even though it looks like it should work properly.
