Awesome photos.

Photos are well composed but appear to NOT be fully focused, not tack sharp?

Are you using a tripod? What shutter speed?

Nice set, Mike. Those birds should head to warmer places. (Such as here).

I appreciate your visit, Ken. For some reason, most of these birds are here year round, although others of their breed migrate.
