Went to RMNP today and had nothing but overcast skies and not a lot of wildlife. Managed to capture this Mountain Chickadee there and was fortunate to find this Red-tailed sitting in a tree on the way home.
I have alo been working a lot on improving my processing and just started a new workflow. This is my third attempt at some images with it. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fantastic shots! On the first one, would you consider losing the out-of-focus branch above and to the right of the bird's head? It's a distraction.

I second Todd's idea on #1 and maybe a touch more contrast in the hawk shots, but yes these are superb captures.

I love Chickadees! These little "bandit" Mountain Chickadees make me smile every time. Agree, a little more contrast/saturation, and maybe even a little more sharpness would perk up the little bandit!
