Those are beautiful pictures! I love the portrait quality (and little birds)... and catching them in their environment. That last one is especially pretty. We have most of those species here but I notice some more than others. I'm guessing you use a tripod for this zoom lens ... but maybe you have a super still hand. The end results are lovely.

I actually use a monopod when I shoot I know people use a tripod but I just don't understand how they can shoot little birds with a tripod I'm actually hand holding the camera most of the time a little birds are just too active in her moving around too much to be able to use a tripod I know people do it but I don't know how they do it

Whatever you've decided works... looks great! :-)

Larry, fantastic set. I really enjoy photos like these, birds with a natural background.

Little birds are difficult targets and you captured them well. IMHO "Best Capture" goes to the Brown Creeper and "Best in Show" to the Golden-crowned Kinglet". Honorable Mention to the Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
