Here you go. Different pose. Juniper twigs removed from the head, beak, and back. Fine texture feathers restored around the throat, beak and head. Eye highlight looks okay. Comments?

This looks better to me, a lower angle would have been great. Could you have moved back a few steps? Please post some techs.
was possible by moving toward the bird but I was as close as I dared. It would have been easy to gain a higher angle as there were rocks around to stand on. Moving back would have heightened my POV.
This was at the entrance to the Upheaval Dome Trail in Canyonlands N.P., UT.

Image before retouch and sharpening is here as well.
Looks better than the first post (was that elsewhere or here???) but still suffers from sommewhat harsh light and the steep angle to the bird. Excellent immage optimization skills.
