Couple of Birds (id please)

First off I'm really new to both photography, and birds. I was just driving through the reservation near my home town, and upon driving through a road that goes through the woods, I saw a few feeders. I stopped, and before you know it......about 20-30 birds. I would say there were about 6 or 7 different birds.

Taken with XTi and 70-200 f4L with Sigma 2x tc

C&C these, tell me what to do next time (other than get a longer lens). Maybe tighter crop, some PP, better settings.

1. Morning Dove
2. Tufted Titmouse

Yep. #1 Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) and #2 tufted titmouse (Parus bicolor).

Nice shots.

Thank you both. I was there for about 2 hours, and I loved it. Relaxing, and quiet (other than the birds of course.) Gonna head back there as I saw some Blue Jays, and another bird of some sort with a red ring around it's head. Thanks again.

Good shots. You'll be hooked on birds in no time!

Get a copy of ' A Field Guide to the Birds' by Roger Tory Peterson
- it will help you to know your birds, and is chock full of usefull info about each breed.
Nice shots by the way !

Nice shots, and next time, take some black oil sunflower seeds to feed them with and maybe some shelled unsalted peanuts. You have to pay your models.

Nice shot!!!!!!
