Backyard visitors

Here are a few of the birds that visit my backyard. Almost all of these photos taken in deep shade at ISO 800 which makes them a bit grainy. Suggestion for improvement very welcome.

Last word made me laugh!! Good title for it. I think the Mallard Ducks is a terrific capture, even tho' the sun seems to have blown out their bodies and the detail on their faces. I still like it for the composition!

I agree with cratchett on the mallards. I think it might also be too much contrast that's adding to the blown whites. I do like 'last word', great title.

How funny with the finches..these are very colorful birds...you have some great visitors to watch over and feed...the doves are the standout for me. as for suggestion, don't know, maybe 400 and faster shutter speed...
