Good set. I like the titmouse for the eye-contact.

Wow Bob, now that is some nice backyard birding. I like the titmouse, the thrasher, towhee and chickadee the most.

Excellent captures Bob :clap

On #1,3 & 4 your backgrounds are a tad funky. If you're using PS make a layer mask, apply NR, and then "paint" out your subject so the NR and accompanying detail loss is applied only to your background and not your subject.
