These are pretty nice captures, but they are all soft - save the one of the towhee, which is getting there. The shutter speed, especially for hand-held is way too slow. Hope you get that monopod soon, and boost the shutter speed. I think you are on your way to some good captures in the near future.
If you can handle it, and have the patience, use a tripod. I think you will be much happier with the results.
Thanks for sharing these. It is a great start. The fun is just beginning.
I knew they were all too soft when I got the chance to review them. I do have the monopod and when I can afford to get it I will be getting a tripod. The head I got for the monopod is also a tripod head so I may be able to get just legs to begin with. I am hoping to get out some more and try to get the shutter speed up to sharpen the focus. Thank you so much for looking and the constructive comments.
