Without a doubt my favorite bird to listen to. Nice pose and the added bonus of singing. Feels just a bit tight in the frame. Do you have more room? I'd also clone out one of the catchlights as it looks like there's one from the sun and one from your flash. Two tiny white intrusions on the bottom edge to the right of the post would also find the clone stamp for me. Small issues with a fine image.

A great look at this singing Meadowlark Marc. I too find this a tad tight.

Here is a new version with more room. I corrected the tiny white intrusions.

Nice catch on this one. Keith identified the issues well. Repost is better without the white spots at the bottom.
