Great series of shots! All nice and sharp, including the in-flight captures with nice reflections. Could you indulge me and crop the last image, just above the red-winged blackbird, and just below the heron's reflection, with just a little space either side? Am curious to see the juxtaposition of the two differently coloured birds' heads.
Here is as close as I can get - this is 100% crop. 200mm isn't very long on FF and this is shooting across the pond. I have to say I am impressed by the clean ISO 800 from the K1 and the sharpness from the Tamron lens here.

Here it is at not quite 100% due to forum scaling.

Thanks! I don't often shoot birds and don't have anything longer than 200mm but this was fun and worked out great. There are a lot of high quality pixels to crop from on the K1.
