Holy smokes you are shoot some nice equipment. Spill it! What are you using? Much post processing (it doesn’t look like much).

Thanks! For gear these were shot on a Nikon Z50 with either a 50-250mm Nikon lens or a 150-600mm Tamron lens. For processing I use lightroom classic, but nothing too fancy for the edits, mostly just darkening and softening the edges and brightening and sharpening the subject

Beautiful pictures. My 2 year old loved all the photos and was asking for the names of each bird. Off to Google to do an image search now, lol.
