Not a bird of prey

[doenoe]

Since i didnt have a transport to go to the birds of prey today, i had to shoot something else. So i put some food items on the bird house in our garden and waited. Saw some chickadees and took some shots.
I tried some new stuff in PS i never used, the sharpen thingie. I think it looks rather decent.......what do you think, did i over do it?
Here are the shots:

Hey, you give them a variety of very nice things to eat!
Maybe I should do that, too: set up a house and put in some food, then wait for them to come and take photos of them from a distance... very nice. And no, you did not oversharpen any of these.

I find the USM (unsharp mask) is a very useful tool, especially for long lens shots!

thanks for the nice comments everyone
i used my Tamron 70-300 at 5.6. ISO400 and shutterspeeds of around 1/200. Was rather cloudy, so i couldnt go any faster. But it worked
