Nice fluffy juvenile, Sandy. Crisp image and I like the perch and bg.

Nice looking bird and pose. Not sure how much I like that background, though. Still, a good image.

Nice details, head turn, and POV Sandy. Well composed frame too.
The mottled BG really compliments the fledglings plumage at this stage also..
Great shot!

Very nice Sandy-great detail and very neat lichen covered perch-the BG is fine IMO.

Nice shot. I like the "fluffed" look and the perch. One of my favorite birds.
