All shots taken at 300mm during sunset in aperture priority (F 7.1)

Red bird was cropped big time

The Cardinal is very nice, looks great against the sky. It held up well with the crop. Well done. The berry's in the bush seem a little soft. The brick shots seem like 'test shots' so I'm not sure what you were trying to show there but they are sharp.

Love the squirrel shot. Nice pose. The focus point seems to be on the horizontal branch he's on and he's just a touch soft but still very nice.
