Nice composition and background the bird looks a little soft to me.
Hi John, I revisited the image changing a couple things. I think the softness you saw might have been because of low contrast, sometimes images that are low contrast appear soft. Here is a repost.

I like the image something is just not quite there for me - was it a big crop? Was the first oversharpened and the second under sharpened? I sense the image is good but something not quite right in the processing.

Hi Jon, thank you for viewing and commenting. I would say the crop was larger than I would have liked it to be but I liked the setting/image a lot so I worked it up. After reading yours and Arash's comments I began again with the original, fewer things done to this in post. Here is a repost of the redo.
