What's your keeper ratio?

Well, tough one to answer.

Technically well excuted, right exposure, right focus etc, probably 50% when doing birding, 99% when shooting other subjects. (Main problem with birding is framing, especially the faster ones, and occasionally even a good AF system will fail you as well.) I can shoot lots and lots of very dull but technically excellent shots. :)

After that, I keep maybe 5% of my bird shots (most get tossed out because of head angle issues, bad wing position, head partially obscured blah blah -- when you have fast moving birds flapping past you can't really worry about the decisive moment). Probably 20% of the other shots. I delete the ones that don't really stand out.

Then once a month or so I go prune my Lightroom catalog and probably kick out 30-40% of it every time.

End result is I really don't have a ton of shots, but the ones I do have I quite enjoy.
