Hi Gary, yes spring is definitely in the air with birds nesting, mating, and laying eggs all over the place. Great time of year to be a birder in our part of the world! I love the meadowlark and you have a nice example here. The image seems just a tad bright to me, but could only be a third of a stop - the whites read pretty hot on the color meter. Love the background and the complimentary colors of it. If it were mine I would give it a bit more sharpening and lighten the eye a bit. Nice capture!
