Find less busy scenes to photo.... Try to get birds at more eye level and looking towards you...
Keep shooting.

nice find the shooting angle is too steep and the bird is angled away from us, the busy perch and the BG didn't help you here

Hi David, the conditions you mention as found in Central Park are the same everywhere. What you might try when you spot a bird is to look for a perch that fits the bird and provides a pleasant uncluttered background. Then pre-focus on the perch so if the bird moves to it your are ready to capture images. Patience is of the utmost because most likely you will wait and wait and wait. If the bird chooses the perch selected then the bird must turn it's body and head for a pleasing angle. Sounds impossible but it does happen. Thanks you for sharing this image.

Hi David, David, Everyone here is glad that you like photographing birds in trees. What we are trying to do it to help you learn to create better images. 99% of the time images with the bird facing us will be more pleasiing than those of birds angled or facing away from us. And all of those twigs are distracting.
I like the sharpness but your image is over-saturated. Please try not to take the critiques personally :)
with love, arite
