Great light and details. You could have moved a bit to your left since the bird's left part of the chest looks quite dark.
Dirty bird. I like the COMP and the sharpness and amazingly, I do not hate the sidelight as I usually do. The bill shine bugs me. It can be fixed easily with the Patch Tool (by working very large) if that fits with your personal ethics. Where was this bird photographed?

Beautiful light. Niice pose and good composition. I agree that moving to your left for more frontal lighting would have been preferable so that the bird's right side would not have been in shadow.
Picture taken in Homer. Thanks for the helpful comments. Will clean up the beak
