Weird no comments. I like 1 and 3 a lot!
#2 looks pretty nasty

Good job on waiting for the lighting, really helps these pictures. What lens did you use for the last pic? 122mm isn't as far as you could have zoomed, so curious as to why you were zoomed out at all!

The 55-200 VR. These woodpeckers were flying around like crazy, they usually didn't stay on the branch for very long, that's the focal length it was at at the time. Only took one frame, it flew off pretty quick after.

And I'd been trying to shoot the things all day, I'm not used to shooting subjects that move around a lot.
