My first time trying to capture birds at a nature preserve - really enjoyed myself but very mixed results. My technique needs some serious work. I did much better after I remembered and switched to the settings recommended by @coastalconn in that write up he posted a while ago. Had a lot of almost and not even close focus issues which I'm going to post in another thread for some advice. Here are the ones I consider keepers. I don't know any of the names yet so if you can help with that or recommend the best website or method of identifying birds I'd appreciate it.
I am happy with these for a beginner birder with a 70-300 (Tamron VC) but would welcome any feedback on the cropping or settings (AF-C, Auto ISO). The woodsy ones needed to be greatly adjusted for exposure/blacks in post and I had to apply a bit of noise reduction:
