Newbie Birds and BIFs from Bronx

New to a photography hobby, and inspired by posts on this forum, I've tried my hand at birding. After an outing today in a park, I finally got the guts to post. I used a Nex 5N 55-210 with 1.7x TC. All are OOCJs (cropped) except for the Jays at the end, which needed level adjusting in PSE.

Hungry swans came close thinking I'd feed them. Ha!

Ok, not "eyeball sharp," but I liked the parallel flights.

Seagull "eyeball sharp."

Another EBIF.

Blue Jay after crop, levels, and saturation work in PSE.

Another PSE edited Jay shot.

Comment and critique welcome. Thanks for looking!
