Great bird. Sharp as can be. Good job with the exposure in relatively bright light. Ugly tree

ps: Some Shadow/Highlight would help the darkest shadows.

I like the flight pose with that fully spread tail. Althought the light was pretty bright, the resulting shadow of the bird's head and neck on the far wing is interesting. I might consider cropping just a bit from the right to get rid of the thick branch in the upper right corner.
