I like Mrs Mallard coming in to land, just the right amount of wing movement. A couple of those were really high ISO=5000. Very bad light? You've done well to reduce the noise there.

Nice Jason! The Cardinal really pops. #4 is a turtle bird?

Yes sun was setting and the day was overcast and i was using a 100-400L. I tried out selective noise reduction from lr4 except the on drake pic. No nr on him at all. This was an experiment to compare to my 1d4 and see if I could get the images close after PP.
