I like the flapping wings and diaganol perch. I wonder if a vertical crop might show the bird a little better

Rick, I love the open mouth and the feather detail on the breast is nice. Beautiful fanned tail.

Fantastic calling pose, and exposure. A head-on calling pose shot of this species continues to elude me. Very well done!

Very nicely captured, Rick, one of the best poses I've seen.
Thanks for participating in the project :)
