Not really for critique and nothing like what Al posted :o but, since the current assignment is on behavior shots, I think I just share with you what I saw this morning (Sep 19) in a sanctuary.
D300 200-400 plus 1.4TC @ 280mm on a tripod; manual exposure mode, ISO 2000, f5.6. 1/160 sec., no flash.
Cloudy day on a trail with trees on both sides...that should explain the high ISO and slow shutter speed. Cropped for composition. Tweaked the white balance, colors and sharpness.
When she was done or couldn't hold on anymore, she just swung herself back to the tree. Sometimes she lost her footing and ended up on the feeder.
The birds? They've moved out of the way.
Thanks for looking !
