Re: Chickadee and Ducks
Couple of nice shots. Conventional wisdom suggest reducing the bright spots in the BG. In this particular image I don't find the BG distracting at all. My eye stays locked on the bird's.
The black mallards are nicely captured. Good selection of crop IMO. A slightly lower perspective would have been optimal. Then again that tends to reduce the reflection.
Nice job overall.

Re: Chickadee and Ducks
I would certainly tone down the highlights. The white area around the bird's neck is looking a bit clipped as well.
For this, I would use Curves, but on an Adjustment Layer with the Blend Mode set to Luminosity so there is no loss of saturation as well.

Re: Chickadee and Ducks
Nice shots, although as others have said, tone down the highlights
