I'm always weary when I see "mirror lens" in the equipment list for a picture. Pleasantly surprised that donuts are at a minimum in these shots. Are they cropped? Nice shots, maybe some experimentation with tele-flash to lighten the bird up a bit. Anyway, it's something I am currently working on for my bird photos. Christian
