I like the colour presentation here Joseph. I find it difficult sometimes to get the colours of this bird just right so as to appear just as it was seen. I think you've done that beautifully here , and this is one of the best captures I've seen of the almost fur-like neck feathers.
I like the calling pose! Great blues all around too. Sharp details. A lower angle to the subject and a bit lower wing position is all that could have been better. You did well overall with the fly-by it gave you here.
