Cedar Waxwings C&C please

[Fotografer]

I'm lucky enough to live on a semi-working farm. I was standing in a strawberry patch taking these pics. Waxwings like berries, it seems.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfortunatly I don't have an editor that saves EXIF data after cropping. I'll detail it as much as possible. Nothing has been done to these photos except cropping.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are the type of shots I got this camera for, so critiques would be greatly appreciated. I know focus is a weak point for me, and I'm trying to learn to effectively bracket focus. (If that's the right term.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All are taken with a Nikon D60 with a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR. (I must say this is an amazing piece of glass. The VR is the most awesome thing ever.)</p>

<p>(I'm kinda disappointed about the branch through his head. <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" />)</p>
