I caught this guy singing on some Wolf Willow shrub a few weeks ago.
Fairly heavy crop, so some details are lacking, that some of you will notice.

You already said it - good perch and nice open beak pose though

Great pose and perch, Nick, and the bg is sweet.

Nice pose and composition, loss of detail not a big problem IMHO.

This is really appealing Nick, a beautiful capture supported by wonderful foliage (perfect size leaves to not over power,) and a beautiful colored BG. Very well done!

The sage color of the BG is really nice in this Nick. I also like the open beak and the pose.
