Some Long Island Birds

[Vycor]

My first post here, hello everybody. I shoot with a Nikon D200 and the lense I used was my new Micro (Macro) 105mm lense. This is the second time ive ever shot wildlife. First time was at the end of summer, and this was my second time. Let me know what you think.

Well I failed at taking pics today. Can anybody give me some advice. I can never get good colors. The birds usually look fine but my skys are very grey and bland. I can only adjust so much color... i keep my camera on ISO 100, Aperature Mode and automatic white balance. I have a feeling white balance may be my flaw??? Any advice is helpfull. MOST of my shots i take, skys are always a bland greyish color.
