First outings today with my new Nikkor AF-S 55-200 VR II on the 1 V2. Very pleased with the results, especially considering I learned when I came back in the house that the VR switch was set to "OFF". I also need to learn how to tweak the focus manually, as the lens kept locking onto twigs just in front of the hawks I was photographing.

That is a problem with all AF systems.
Anything between you and the subject will confuse the AF into focusing on it, rather than the subject.
The only exception is the new subject detect AF, where it would detect and focus on the subject.

As for tweaking the focus.
If you can set the camera for manual focus. That is your answer.
Do the initial focus with the AF then switch to manual.
Although in your case, shooting through branches, you may have to do all your focusing manually.
