I like all three of them but #3 is the one that I like the most.

I think all three are very good. People almost never comment about my shots, even though I'm sure some people here could make suggestions to help. So a little polite feedback. Maybe we can start a trend

# 3 is great, tack sharp and good composition and really good subject isolation.

#2 is also very good, I personally would not have stopped down to F11. Not that I always achieve it, but I like shallow DOF to isolate birds. just mho.

#1 looks good, composition is tricky when the bird is looking directly at you, it resulted in the legs being centered. Maybe a little CA on the back? Not sure...
