This bird along with being endemic to Florida is the most threatened from habitat loss. Only a few thousand, if that many, exist in small pockets scattered around the state. They are birds of the sandy scrub oak areas favored for building. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I like the perch, it's different, but I feel it's bit too sharp overall and there is a halo on the front chest. Have you upped the blues?

Hi Steve, thank you for viewing and commenting. I checked the image, not sure why but I had set the radius too wide, I also backed off the sharpening a tad, the halo is now gone. Thanks for your input, always appreciated.
P.S. The perch is a dead branch on a Longleaf Pine tree.

I too agree with Steve love the perch and agree with the halo and maybe a little over sharpen.Seems to be in harsh light. Thanks for the info never new about them being threatened. Overall nice image TFS
