Hi Alan: I love the 3rd one, such pretty color and you got a good look. Unfortunately, I’m not a birder; I think I’ve taken one shot of one Cardinal in all the years I’ve been on and off photography. I would think Paul Stenquist and Stan Halpin could offer some good advice. Though I would say, maybe set up a tripod since you’re doing backyard birding—though the way birds seem to be in constant twitching mode, you may still need high shutter speeds—I think. Like I said I’m no expert birder.
