I like this a lot, Douglas. The lead bird is in great focus with a nice pose and the rest of the flock adds to the feeling of movement. My only suggestion is a bit of CCW rotation, it just doesn't feel level.

Nice flight shot, Douglas. I think a bit of noise reduction might be called for on the bg.

Douglas,
I like the flight pose and the OOF birds in the background. The lead bird isn't a Willet though, it is a Dowitcher. Bill is too long for a Willet and the wrong shape, the legs on a willet aren't yellowish, they are more gray and the legs are longer. Agree with Keith on rotation.

Nice landing shot, Douglas. The position of the middle background bird is unfortunate, but you can only photograph what the birds give you. The apparent angle is likely an optical illusion, but I'd still rotate the photo 1-2 degrees CCW...
