Beautiful shot, and I like the catch light. Good job on cleaning up the perch... :)
I visited your site, and have to say that is one of the best all around wildlife sites I have ever seen. Beautiful shots.
I didn't see a place to comment on your site so I posted here.

Nice composition and cool pose. The IQ is just perfect. Nice job!

[Doug Brown]

Nice preening pose; I like that the eye is clearly visible. Color palette of bird, perch, and BG is very harmonious. I might have bumped the ISO and stopped down a bit in the hope that I could get the tail feathers in better focus.

[Loi Nguyen]

Lovely display and excellent light, tack sharp. Love the colors and the catch light. Wish I could see the bird face a bit more though.

Gary Kinard, Thank you very much for taking time out to check my website and your nice words. I have a contact form on the website but yes, as you suggested, will implement a guest book feature. Thank you.

Very nice, great complimentary background and perch for this bird.
Stopping down would have made for a sharper tail, but nice as presented.
