    Common but lovely birds; walking up a trail I was lucky to get this one to pose for a few minutes

    A very lovely image. HA is terrific and I really like the perch and the composition. There appear to be a few (4)dust spots to the right of bird.

    Beautiful , clean and sharp with great color and detail. Might take a bit off the right.

    Super portrait. Great perch and pose. BTW, isn't this a Tropical Kingbird?

    I love the perch and BG. Bird ain't too shabby either! I'd crop this as a more traditional 3:2 ratio vertical. The little spots Gail refers to look like tiny feather debris, was this guy preening?...I'd eliminate them regardless...

    It does look like a Kingbird...

    Thanks all
    Of course a Tropical Kingbird; I know what happened there, as I had posted a Mockingbird before I must have somehow selected that "predicted" title again.
    I didnt notice as I did type Kingbird lol.
    Maybe someone can change it as I obviously cant.
    The air was full of windborn seeds!
