Focus is very good- looks like you have some nice light catches in the eyes. Background is not blown out. Trying to figure out whether there's something in the tail feathers in #1 suggesting the use of a photoshop tool. Not sure.

Overall, Images that most anybody should be proud of. Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Great set.

Really like that first shot. (Not that the second is bad - I just prefer seeing more of the bird like we do in #1). Poor thing looks scared

Those big eyes! I think he is hungry. Baby swallow! Yumm!

Ah, so there was a reason he was being mobbed! In that case, go swallows! I thought they were just being jerks like the blue jays
