Another from the other morning at a local migration "hot spot".

Nice finding and an excellent shot, Joe.
One thing I don't like is the blue spot at the bottom of the frame, right at the branch.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent details, love the perch, great pose, very nice background, and nice light.

How great to get such a clean, lovely portrait of this Thrasher, Joe. Typically they are so skulky and hard to get out in the open. I like your comp, the details, and the sharpness. I see about 3 or 4 dust bunnies you might want to remove, in the blue sky, including one very close to his bill.

Nice pose, colors and feather detail in this nice capture Joe. I like it!

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the perch, pose, sharpness and composition. Well done Joe!

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely, Joe! Not an easy bird to photograph and you really did well.

[Bill Dix]

Terrific, clean shot of this handsome fellow. Nice pose, showing his long tail to advantage. Good light an detail. I wouldn't mind seeing the blue spot go away, but it doesn't really hurt the fine image. I saw one of these guys skulking yesterday, but couldn't get a shot.

I love the bird's alert pose, the perch, colours. The eye looks great! I'd have preferred you flip the camera for a vertical but I do realize that in the spur of the moment it is not always possible. Too bad about the oof colouring at the wingtips...I'd try to selectively play with the color balance on it to match the surrounding plumage colour.
