Nice shots!
You'll have to share your technique for snapping black birds!

thanks john.
i shoot in A.V. mode mostly,and use exposure compensation.i try to adjust it just so,the highlight alert,flashes slightly..always expose to the right of the histogram. in this case,due to the conditions,i used
1/1000 sec,ISO 800,and EC of + 2. i,ll adjust as needed on the fly,and,as conditions dictate.
hope this helps.
