I like the titmouse the best, because I think it is the most interesting shot. The focus is off on some of them. On the titmouse it is on his feet, on the finch it is on the chain. It should be on their eyes. The nuthatch would be the best if he had a bit more tree in front of him. I would have cropped him a bit tighter in the rear. The first two are also cropped too close to the front of the bird. You always want to leave them some place to go.
I like the different textures in the nuthatch. The nuthatch is probably the best shot, but I still like the look on the titmouse. He makes me smile. And that is what a good shot is suppose to do elicit emotion.

I like the second shot as it's the sharpest. And of coarse the Cardinal that you added.. You're going to have a blast with the new Lens. I shoot with the Nikon 70-300, captured me a lot of birds.

Second one looks like a White-Breasted Nuthatch.

Nice work.

In all the shots the birds seem to have you under watch... That's good photography. Or not so great camouflage...

Getting interaction is an excellent way to boost photo impact though!

Love the shot of the nuthatch nice detail composition. How far away where you from the nuthatch when taking the shot and what lens speed. Colors are nice too. I have a resident nuthatch in my backyard,but have been unable to capture him(photographically).They move quick down the trunk of our oak tree capturing those lovely insectae. the woodpecker moves up a tree to capture its goodies.
