Hi Bill! You got a nice profile here. I would be tempted to crop this image a little tighter. I would probably apply some additional sharpening to the bird. And I would lighten the iris a little. Thanks for posting!

Nice ruffled pose, bill. Agree on Doug comments and add that you were lucky to get a cloudy day, otherwise the side light would have hyrt your image.
Keep them coming!
