That eye just jumps out at you. I like the colors of the perch and how they are coordinated with the colors in the background. Nice pose.

I love imaging the mockingbirds. They are so cooperative. I like the multi colors in the shrub that he chose to perch on. Great head turn and catch light.

Love these birds. Nothing sings like them. You've caught its personality with that head turn and eye. Nice one, Eric.
